How to put baby down for naps

Samantha

Okay, I've made plenty of posts about how my daughter needs to be held to nap, and for a good part of the day.

I didn't have a problem with it, until recently. She is getting bigger now, obviously, and it would be nice to be able to get some things done or even eat something while she naps.

She sleeps good in her pack n play at night. When I put her down, she will just roll onto her tummy and go to sleep.

But it is not happening for naps. I've tried making the room dark with a lullaby like for bedtime. I've tried having it light with Jazz music playing like normal nap time. I've tried putting her down awake, and asleep. Nothing is working!

She usually will play for a few mins, then cry for 2ish hours until I give up and pick her up. Sooner if she's hysterical, but it's mostly just fussing or plain fighting sleep. She will stop to yawn and then start again!

Has anyone else had to deal with this? I've been trying every day for the last week and it's not any better
