Nap tips ?!

Molly-💍💙💙🐕

Hey anyone have any nap tips/tricks? My son hates to nap! He sleeps in his crib only with the sound machine and darkening shades. He will be so tired rubbing his eyes but the second we start up the stairs he knows it’s time and freaks out! He’s fine for bedtime but during the day he just won’t go down! I’ve tried letting him cry I’ve tried picking him up .. nothing works 😩
