Wrapping/swaddling & Sleep

I have a 2 month old DS and I'm so confused on what to do
He hates to be wrapped although we have persisted as he wakes up
Or won't go to sleep if he is not wrapped. I just bought a swaddle and have tried that but it doesn't work
He sleeps for half and hour then wakes up and cries cause he wants to get out
I just got back from the maternal health nurse and she said I can start letting him sleep without being wrapped
So I tried this afternoon without being wrapped he slept for half and hour and that's it
When he is wrapped its like he spends most of his te trying to get out of it
I don't know what to do! Any ideas?

with my DS2 I gave up on wrapping at about 2 weeks old cause he'd get out of it while sleeping and wanted to starfish sleep with his arms. Instead I've got him in a sleeping bag so he's warm overnight.
It might take a bit (a few days or so) for him to get used to not having the wrap on but he will get used to it. I know my DS (about 2 1/2 mths now) will sleep for about that length of time for about half his day naps (usually naps on a lambskin or in his bouncer) and sleeps longer at night in the bassinet. He's only in the sleeping bag at night.

Grobag is one label for sleeping bags. I currently have DS2 in a homemade 2nd hand one with sleeves and my mum made a couple more for him as I don't have the smaller sized ones as I swapped DS1 over to sleeping bags sometime after 6 mths and I scored a number of secondhand grobags off ebay for him.

I found Gro-bags fantastic with my DS. I didn't start him in one until he was a little older though. Have you tried wrapping your DS with one arm in and one arm out? That's what we did with our boy at first then started wrapping less tightly until we transitioned him into the Gro-bag.

I assume your DS is waking because he startles himself due to involuntary reflex babies have (they grow out of it). Have you considered doing the angel wrap? Your DS hands will be up near his face, so he can feel them & move them somewhat but should stop the startling a bit. Otherwise consider a gro bag or something similar.

It's probably nothing to do with the wrapping :) Just waking after 1 sleep cycle. Do you wear him at all? sometimes that helps get them through that first wakeup into a longer sleep.
