Making baby sleep

Dear mothers, How do you make your baby sleep? My child is currently 6 weeks old. He needs to be carried and rock to sleep. Is there anyway I can make him sleep without carrying and rocking. I’ve read articles saying to put baby down while awake but drowsy and they will learn to fall asleep independently. This doesn’t seem to work? Once I put him down his eyes will be wide open. Any advice?

My LO is 2 mths 11 days... Initially it started with the carrying and rocking. Today I tried to let him sleep on his own. So after his full feed we will do a burp and lay him in his playpen. Thankfully he falls alseep on his own through out the whole day. We have the radio on in the morning and TV till evening before he goes to his cot where he'll have his white noise on. Hopefully this will continue.
