putting tired baby to sleep

There are times where it is easy to put my 2 month old boy to sleep, when I have caught the "right timing". There are times where we miss that window (e.g sleepy during feeding but got awaken from burping. Or got woken up in the middle of the nap or sleep). He is clearly wanting to continue to sleep yet even after I carry him in my arms, walk around the house, rock him and "shhh" him, he is still refusing to sleep. The alternate is a cranky, fussy baby. I'm wondering what do other mummies do under this circumstances to put your LO to sleep?

I swaddle my LO before her last night feed (which is slightly more than her day feed). So that I can put her to bed after feed and not risk waking her up when swaddle. If she wakes up, which is usually few hours later, and still not in time for middle of night feed, we will give pacifier n pat her that usually works.
