Can it get baby to nap in cot

We’re currently in Coronavirus lock down and I have a 10 month old that won’t nap in a cot....the only way I can get her to sleep is driving which is currently not an option....everyday gets worse as she gets more and more tired. I have tried calming routines and breastfeeding first and giving some warm formula and white noise and lullabies and patting and shushing etc but no matter there is no improvement....on a very good day she screams for 30 minutes then sleeps for 20 then will not go back but on a usual day she would just scream for up to 2 hours and get no sleep....she will nap in her buggy if kept constantly moving but only for 30 minutes and with current rules I can only do that once a day. I am simply out of ideas and really struggling stuck at home all day with an increasingly overtired little baby. Anyone had this or have any ideas please?

My 5 month old will only nap in a sling. Not sure if that is a possibility for you?

With my first born I used to get him to sleep in an ikea Ekorre Swing at a similar age.

We used to rock ours in the buggy in the kitchen or outside when it was warmer if we couldn't go for a walk. To start with we had to do it constantly whilst they slept but they got used to sleeping without the buggy moving so could rock to sleep and then leave them.

Unfortunately she’s too big for a sling now and I have tried the rocking in the buggy but it doesn’t seem to work....takes a good 20 minutes walking at pace to get her to sleep!
