Is anyone else still struggling to get their little ones to nap?!

My baby boy is just over 5 months and he is so difficult to get to nap I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😩 he doesn’t want to be rocked and doesn’t want to lay down. He will only nap easily in the pram and that’s not always possible as I can’t go out for every single nap. I’ve tried extending wake windows, we was following 2 hours and I’ve now increased to 2.5 hours and it’s not making a difference. I’ve tried going with the flo and following him but that doesn’t work either. It’s getting to the point now where he is refusing to nap all afternoon and then falling asleep at 6pm on his bottle which isn’t ideal as he is then wide awake at 5am 😩 does anyone have any advise? Or is anyone else In the same boat as I feel like I’m doing something wrong

We’ve had to revert to swaddling or putting girl in a carrier to nap x No independent naps at the minute xx

I had this when she hit 5 months for a couple of weeks, it passed but for a while it was just pram & car naps. I haven’t figured out nap lengths or times yet, doesn’t matter if she’s under or over tired she always wakes at 5-545am, sometimes 430😅 think I need a later bedtime but then that means adding in another nap

Yeppp - we either feed to sleep or pop her in a sling!

Oh yes but my boy hasnt napped for a few weeks. We get roughly a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day and that is it.. he can be awake from 4am til 5:30pm with just that 3 hours…
