Settling 9 week old baby to sleep?!!!

This is actually my 3rd baby so I’m not new to this. I’m bottle feeding (expressed milk- different sob story) and she won’t feed to sleep, wont rock to sleep and wont take a dummy.

Any ideas on how to settle her to sleep?
I have dark room, white noise and shushing and she isn’t hungry as she won’t take a bottle, and she is winded. Used to go asleep on my chest then transfer now won’t do that.
Gave up with the crying and husband went in. Think he is standing there bouncing her but I find that exhausting and not great with some post natal symptoms! I was rocking back and forth sat down.
Ideas? Maybe she’s not tired? Naps still a bit all over the place.

Baby sleep has been the main thing that causes me stress with my kids. And I’ve read the books and done the justchillbabysleep courses and I still fucking hate it.

@lking679 Hey OP, how have you been going? I am with you on baby sleep - it's the worst, and it gets me down too. Some babies settle so easily - not mine, or yours by the sounds! I hope you're okay.
