Have you tried patting? Turn her to her side, hold her hands (through the swaddle) then with your other hand, cup your hand, rest your forarm on her thigh and pat just behind her shoulder firmly and slowly (1 per second). It cannot be too gentle, otherwise that’s not calming.

yes, i tried. maybe its just due to night time. i read that babies will fuss at night
