Refuses naps

Does anyone’s baby completely refuse naps now ? My baby boy is 17 weeks and he doesn’t go down on his usual nap time and his wake windows exceeded 2hr mark

I’m also using the huckleberry app to track the naps but he seems to just want to play

My little girl has started doing this (16 weeks old) but I realised when she does want to nap she is extra cranky and screams for around 20+ mins because she’s overtired so it’s hard to settle her. I’m trying to force her to sleep after 1 1/2 hours of being awake because waiting for 2 hours or for her to want to sleep herself is too late x

As soon as my LO starts showing signs he’s tired I start soothing him to sleep. If I don’t catch the early cues then he is an absolute demon when he gets overtired. He will only go to sleep though if it’s a contact nap and then I am able to put him in his cot (sometimes it’s like moving a bomb 😂) or if he is in the pram and on the move he will sleep. Luckily he sleeps through the night the majority of the time though at the moment we are waiting for the 4 month regression to hit 😆

I swear babies are needing less and less sleep as the generation goes on! My 4 month old only has little catnaps in the car totalling like 1 hour a day maybe, but at her age my eldest and middle kids were having 3 solid naps 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
