Try white noise, soft classical music, or maybe letting him nap on the floor(blankets laid down), etc.
If you know there is absolutely nothing wrong with him, it does not hurt your kid for them to cry for two minutes or so as they fall asleep. As moms, we cannot carry our children around literally 24/7. I'm not saying to let him cry for hours, but 2 or 3 minutes isn't going to harm him in any way. Rub his back, let him know you're there, comfort him, and lay him down. Maybe sing or read to him.

My son is the same age and has been doing the exact same thing recently, even at night. Maybe a car ride? He has a much easier time falling asleep and staying asleeo when swaddled, i usually do this unstead of loading him in the car. Youll get through it momma!

I've heard white noise works wonders as well:)

Rubbing*

@hannibelle, he just ate, he's burped, just changed his diaper. He's just tired. He's running his eyes and you can see it in his face that he's sleepy. He just has been extremely difficult to get down for a nap
