8.5 month old refusing day time naps.

Hi, looking for some advice. My 8.5 month old is staying with a family member while I go to work but will not nap all day. I manage to get him down for an hour at 9:15am before we leave but he then won't sleep all day till I pick him up. He eats well and plays with her 15 month old son but when it's time to nap he just won't sleep. Even using his sleeping bag, white noise teddy, lovey and upstairs in a dark bedroom. Today my mum was there as well and between the both of them they had to hold him all day, everytime they put him down or sat down with him he screamed. He is normally quite happy to go in a sling but today he hated it, so she was also unable to take him out. He is bf but will take formula and water when I'm at work so I know he's not hungry or thirsty. This is a new arrangement as I've only been back at work for 2 weeks and luckily only part time. It just seems to be getting worse each time rather than better. Does anyone have any experiance with this or advice. Thanks.
