My 10 week old is busting out of her Miracle blanket AND her double swaddle.
What's the next sleep contraption for her?...

I posted this on your other thread. It worked really well for us!
We used an A+A blanket to swaddle DS until he was 4.5 months old. I used the russian swaddle (first video) instead of a traditional swaddle because it was much more secure. I put a folded receiving blanket inside of that to secure his arms (video two). We stopped swaddling because he learned how to roll over while swaddled. Until then, we rarely had any issues with breaking through the swaddle.

@sweet t-I've been doing the second video with two A+A blanket and she just wiggles and wiggles until she gets loose. I end up re swaddling her at night which just wakes us both up more!
I wonder if I need to use something like a Woombie where she can move her arms inside it, but can't smack herself in the head.
She's still in a RnP, too

@blackbird: we used a regular receiving blanket for the blanket on the inside. I think the A+A blankets would be too stretchy. I liked the Russian swaddle shown in the first video a lot. It was much more secure and I liked how the bottom of the swaddle wasn't tapered like a traditional swaddle.
We never tried the woombie but I've seen nothing but good reviews on here!
ETA: have you tried having her sleep in a crib or bassinet? The weight of her body would help keep her arms secure in the inside blanket. I'm assuming the same would be true for the miracle blanket.

Have you tried a Love to Dream Swaddle? We had really good success using it with our LO:

Ours was like that too. In the end we just gave up swaddling after spending a fortune on swaddling devices that she could break out of.

I have the woombie (which I got after reading your last thread) it works well, but I think LO can move too much in it so it doesn't give him the calming effect of a swaddle (arms by his sides-etc) he does so pretty well sleeping in it though . Although he slides way down I the woombie in his RNP.
