White noise machine or just YouTube it on your phone. Rock him. We started using a sleep sack at some point but when he was younger we used a swaddle thing that worked well, it wraps them up tight - I don't remember how many months old when we made the switch, maybe 4 or 5. It also helped with mine if you gave him a few sips of a bottle. He wouldn't finish it or anything but taking a last few sips would put him out - while rocking. good luck

^^^ and if he was slightly fussy, we use "Gripe Water" night time version. It's a liquid that we get at Target. Put 2.5 ounces or so in a syringe and he loved it and it settled him down.

We absolutely give him the night time gripe water, it makes him sleepy like he is currently but he fights through it no matter what we do. He doesn't seem gassy and has been burped religiously, and rocked. It's maddening.

He has a white noise machine but seemed to sleep better with voices in the background (like very soft TV), currently neither works.

For example, I just rocked him for maybe 30 minutes and he seemed to be asleep until I went to put him in his bassinet - suddenly wide awake.

He does this exact same thing repeatedly

A ride in the car works fairly well.
