Nap issues
My 3mo old just started fighting naps. When I try to put him down (he only likes being held to sleep) he stiffens and hits and scratches to try to stay awake. This has become every nap and it’s so tiring. Today after trying for 20 mins I put him down and ended up crying in the bathroom. He was so close to falling asleep and then popped back up. It’s so difficult when you have to do this so many times a day. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I’ve tried the dark curtains, the rocking and bouncing, walking. I’m praying this gets better

Have you tried white noise or shushing or dummies or having something with your scent on it wherever you're trying to put him to sleep or baby carrier naps
Yeah, white noise machine, soother, I usually rock him to sleep so my scent is there. I’ve tried timing and watching wake windows but I’m lost. The fight goes on for so long I give up. He just went down after being awake 2 hours and 30 mins
Cant you just embrace the contact naps for now or pop him in a sling?
