4 month old awake and crying 10 minutes in to each nap....

I have recently been weaning my 4 month old off needing to be bf to sleep for each nap.

So far, the first nap of the day is fine, he goes down and sleeps for anywhere from 30-45 minutes, but each nap after that is a real struggle.

It takes longer to get him settled and 90% of the time he wakes within 10 minutes crying. The only thing that then re-settles him is feeding him back to sleep. If I don't feed him, he just gets more and more cross and will scream in my arms (whilst I am rocking and shhh'ing him for up to 45 minutes).

When he wakes from a decent length nap or first thing in the morning he is happy to stay rolling around in his cot talking to himself for a good 20 minutes, so the screaming when he wakes early from a nap is baffling me.

Any advice??
