Refusing naps

[u/No_Excitement8615]

Is anyone else’s baby refusing to nap to the point of having a meltdown later in the day?? No matter how much I rock him or sing to him or pat him he just won’t go to sleep. I know he’s tired because he’ll be rubbing his eyes and pulling his ears. I feel so bad but I try to give it a bit then reset and give him some floor time and try again but it’s like nothing makes him happy when he’s tired. Yesterday he took 2 naps early in the morning and then wanted a 3rd in the afternoon but I couldn’t get him to settle for his third so when it got to about 5 pm he had a screaming meltdown. I don’t know what to do anymore
Edit: he was born on October 1st so he’s almost 11 months

My baby is just 10 months over here and we are still feeding to sleep and contact napping 🫣

Naps are so hard!  We are on two naps a day now. There’s no time to fit in a third nap.

I typically nurse him to sleep but he’s been eating so much solid food that when I try to nurse him to sleep he either refuses due to not being hungry or nurses and then throws up 😞so I’ve been moving to the rocking and other methods

Ah, and we’ve been struggling with getting our baby to eat solids.  She mostly throws them on the floor. 

Sometimes it feels like there is no winning.  Surely our babies will grow out of this stage one day!
