Look up a Merlin suit for babies. I’m not joking, thing works like a champ.

Hold it with its ear over your heart and use your thumb to stroke the area above the ear.
Or, if the layout of your house allows for this, walk laps around the house while holding the baby upright against your chest (head resting on your shoulder). If the baby doesn't fall asleep at first, start taking long strides so you're moving the baby up and down.

Baby swing always worked like a charm. Do people still use these?

I used babywise. Schedule is the only way a baby will learn to sleep. Get their calories to them during the day.

Research sleep training. And you have to do it every few months after a sleep regression.

Mine loves the Kyte sleep sack. Was never much into swaddling. I think well fed and burped is the number one thing. Some people swear by sound machines. Routine is also important (bath, bottle, book, bed type thing). If the baby is old enough for a bit of oatmeal, that helps my baby stay asleep for longer. They also make night time gripe water that has chamomile in it.
And yes, when all else fails, to the car we go lol. I have literally driven my child around some cane fields for 2 hours to get her to nap

Leave them in car seat also.

They also recommend against giving them honey. Those little chubby frickers love it though.

My oldest didn’t sleep through the night for 17 fricking months. It didn’t matter what we did. Good luck and God bless!
