Anyone else really struggle with naps

My baby will not nap. Like, at all. It's been weeks since she's taken a nap longer than 25 minutes unless she's in someone's arms. We darken the room, put the white noise on, swaddle her nice and snug, and still she sleeps for 15 minutes. My house is in shambles, because nap time is when I used to clean house. I am going back to work on Monday and I don't want my mom to hold her for all the naps. Anyone else have a baby who refuses to nap?

    Autumn is an insomniac most days and if she is sleeping good its because shes being held or in a carrier! She knows as soon as she is put down too! The eyes pop open like she was never sleeping! I say to do swhatever works and try transitioning your baby to different sleeping patterns. Then again I am pretty much in the same boat lol

    Swing?

    Both of my kids are crazy about the swing. DS napped in his swing until 6ish months (only in the swing, too!). DD naps the first part in her crib, and then moves to the swing to finish it out.  

    I'm going with it, because I know how well my DS grew out of the swing.  But, yeah, naps sometimes suck around here.

    I keep track of things (that's just how I am).  Here was my day. And if you are wondering, EVERYTHING in between was a nightmare. My baby was a cranky, crying mess today (as was his mum).

    He normally STTN, the last week or so he has been getting up at least 2 times.  Is this a phase??? It just took H 1.5 hours to get him to sleep for the night.  It normally takes 10-15.

    7:25 a.m. nap

    8:20 a.m. wake  = 55 mins

     

    10:40 a.m. nap

    11:10 a.m. woke  = 30 mins

     

    12:25 p.m. nap

    12:55 p.m. wake = 30 mins

     

    3:15 p.m. nap

    3:40 p.m. wake  =  25 mins

     

    6:15 p.m. nap

    6:50 p.m. wake  = 35 mins
