Fighting naps

My baby is 8 weeks old and straight up fights naps during the day. We normally contact nap but even this is a huge struggle. Are you experiencing something similar?

My 3 month old fights naps too. It's exhausting. And he gets into a right state. Eyes red and he's a screaming for sleep. I don't know what to do

I pop my daughter in the carrier after they’ve been awake for an hour, clean and fed 🤞🏽 works for us x

My 8 week old (will be 9 weeks Monday)starts off really happy to nap and as the day goes on gets harder and harder. So once it gets past 1/2pm the only naps I can do are in the carrier or car. If he's in the carrier he will go to sleep eventually sometimes takes 20 minutes of walking but eventually he can't resist. I would imagine a pram would also work but he doesn't like the pram yet... We do an early bed time (like 7pm) which works as we struggle to get a nap at 4/5pm and then he starts to get over tired. Do you keep an eye on his sleepy cues? They say maximum wake window for 8 weeks old is an hour / hour 15 so worth trying to offer a nap in that time frame before he gets over tired but I know my LO will often fight it despite looking so tired!!
