Naptime

My daughter hates going down for naps. I have to either rock her or nurse her to get her down and she even fights that! She waves her arm around and smacks her head or waves her legs around. She is absolutely ridiculous lol. Now I just deal with is and let her do what she needs until she falls asleep. She is almost 8.5 months and I really feel that I need to get her away from all that. Does anyone else have a fighter when it comes to sleeping and what do you do? I cannot do cio since I don't really like it and my daughter screams as soon as she's put down for a nap. Should I just let her stay awake and maybe go down to one nap once she's so tired to fall
