Fighting naps/sleep

How long awake times did you try?
This is the same for me. 6 months on 20th and fighting naps
No less than 2.5 hours but he sleeps best with 3 hours between. How long do you have at the moment? I'd try adding 15 mins and see what happens for a few days, it might push your timings later but to me the improvement in quality of sleep was so worth it!
Mines 6 months on 20th too! I was doing 2 hours awake but now I’m trying out 2.5-3 hours
Having the same! Screaming during nap time, even when rocked. But she is rubbing eyes/yawning 😅
Me too, baby is 6 months on the 20th 
Yes!! All his naps, he fights like mad. His bedtime is still fine and goes down no bother but naps are brutal and that’s him having 3 hour wake windows x
My little girl started doing this and I tried earlier bedtime. I also think separation anxiety around bed time has become a thing.
You could also think about their total sleep time over 24 hours, an early bedtime or long naps even with big windows can lower sleep pressure enough to cause a lot of night wakes! This is our trouble, if I don't wake him from naps sometimes the night time goes to crap and his overall sleep quality sucks.
Did earlier bedtime work?
6 months on the 20th too and exactly the same 🥲 fighting his naps and bed time but clearly tired, I tried longer wake windows (3hrs) and less daytime sleep yesterday (2.5hrs) and it made things worse for us at bed time last night 😥 today he’s been overtired since waking up 🫠
We had this a few weeks ago and turned out he'd had a drop in sleep needs. Longer wake times between naps/bedtime worked a treat!
