Trouble getting my baby to nap?

My 6 month old baby is fighting tooth and nail about taking naps during the day. He starts to yawn and rub his eyes to I put him in his crib and he will be ok for a few minutes then starts to scream bloody murder. He sleeps fine during the night only wakes up maybe once if any during the night but day time is a totally different story. Any advice? Thanks!

put on soft music and have the room dark.. It's tricking him but if it works it works.. You can also play with him until he is too sleepy to play anymore that works too
Reply:put music on like just a piano playing or violin.


i would buy celtic music.


also make them drink cold milk or water to soothe them down.


you could also rock them and tap their back kind of hard.
Reply:Does he use a passy or suck his thumb. Either way if he has a "regular" time that he starts getting tired, try putting him down about a half hour before that. That way hes not too tired that he'll fight it but tired enought that he will go to sleep. If all else fails take a ride in the car, then move him to the bed. If that doesnt work you may have to let him cry himself to sleep. Although I hated doing that it has worked for me. Good luck~ I know its frustrating.
Reply:Set up a routine for nap time, and make it different than the one you use for bedtime. For instance, for my son we take him up stairs and read him a book, then we turn on his radio, and tell him it is time to take a nap. Doing this prep. work will let the child know what is expected of him/her. If they cry check on them once and don't pick him/her up just firmly state that it is nap time and you will be back later to wake them up. Your kid may cry and scream longer at first, just because he/she knows it has gotten him/her out of a few naps, but give it time and in a week or two they will have the routine down and the expectation will be understood. Good Luck!
Reply:try give him a bottle of warm milk or a pacifier.i think u should put him to sleep a little after 3:00 because u don't want 2 put her a sleep to closet right after he just woke up and if u put him to bed like at 6:00 good luck put him to sleep. try doing a lot of things like swimming or ball etc. so he will be pooped out and just fell a sleep. i pass my hand by my sisters eyes so she can close them and hopefully keep them close. and there other thing like rocking her and lullaby's.
