Making baby sleep

Dear mothers, How do you make your baby sleep? My child is currently 6 weeks old. He needs to be carried and rock to sleep. Is there anyway I can make him sleep without carrying and rocking. I’ve read articles saying to put baby down while awake but drowsy and they will learn to fall asleep independently. This doesn’t seem to work? Once I put him down his eyes will be wide open. Any advice?

Keep trying. For us the first 3 months was pretty much like that. We had to carry him to sleep and we continued doing that because they are small and needed the security. When he was slightly bigger at 3-4 months we started doing the put him down when he is drowsy, most of the time I it didn’t work but we didn’t carry him back up. He plays for a while and falls asleep thereafter.
