5 month old wont nap

[Nammas]

My 5.5 month old refuses to nap and this is therefore affecting her sleep at night where she wakes up to time and wont go back to sleep until 2 hours later.

I have tried to set up a routine but she resists and cries. I leave her in her cot, she cries, and this goes on all day everyday.

What do I need to do?

She maybe a bit too young for a daytime routine yet. I remember stressing about this with my DD (now 4) but she would do the same. I gave her a break from it for a while and just let her sleep on me and tried again at about 6.5/7 months and she just went to sleep and didn’t sleep on me again til she was 2.5 and went through another nap hating phase! Maybe give her a bit more time?
Car or pram to get her over? Or I used to give DD a bottle in the dark then sit on the bed and drink tea and watch boxsets while she slept.
