baby overtired but cant sleep

Baby is Wk7 now and have been trouble falling asleep. She is obviously tired -- rubbing eyes, yawning but nothing makes her sleep. Carrying feeding pacifier putting her down -- nothing works but she is not crying. Will she eventually fall asleep on her own ?

When she is overtired, she needs help to fall asleep. Carry and rock her til she is in deep sleep, then try to put her down. She might be having growth spurt or developmental leap this period which makes her more fussy and sleep poorly too, so might even need to carry her while she sleeps to ensure she gets enough rest. But jiayou mummy! She will sleep better in the weeks to come :)
