9 month old baby not a great sleeper...

Hi all,
My 9 month old son has never really been a great sleeper.
He only really still likes to contact nap in the day time as if you put him in his cot for naps, he will be awake after 20 mins and then be overtired.
To get him to sleep, he likes to touch your face but he likes to scratch and hair pull as a comfort thing.
We have tried putting him to bed when sleepy but he just rolls straight over to his front and then is wide awake.
At night, he is usually alright if you let him fall asleep on you and then put him in bed.
Anyone had any experiences like this and got any tips?
Thanks!

I could have wrote this today about my 9 month old daughter, exactly the same! We’ve started this week trying to move her into her own room to see if that helps, it hasn’t yet😂 so no advice but solidarity!

Very similar here.

Tried to stop the contact naps but just meant I was up and down putting them in and out and I didn’t really want to stop them anyway as I know they’ll stop on their own at some point? Also they were SO overtired then as just wouldn’t sleep.
