You’ll need to stop the carrying to sleep/cradle and put baby to sleep straight on the bed.. you can try swaddling + very firm patting (cup your hands, so that it’s actually not painful at all for baby, and helps them fall asleep too). Also start teaching baby to self soothe. Don’t pick baby up immediately when baby cries. Give him 2-3 minutes. See if he calms down or falls back asleep, or self entertains.

After he woke up, avoid carrying him immediately. Instead, can observe to see if he will falls back to sleep on his own. Otherwise, you can try patting him or cry it out method.
