Crying baby won’t sleep (FTM)

Nikki

My baby is 5 months and when he’s sleepy he will rub his eyes and almost fall asleep but will cry and cry nonstop. And it just repeats. I do everything to try and make his fall asleep. He doesn’t like pacifiers 2/10 of the time. And sometimes he falls asleep with some formula. But that doesn’t always work. I put him in his cradle and put some baby music for him and he still cry’s. Some tips to help him fall asleep would be perfect.
