Yeah my daughter is slowly going that route... I'm still figuring out her schedule because there is a window where she will just close her eyes and drift off. Too early or too late, and she will fight it. You could try looking into the 1-2-3 naps (I think its called), and also jiggling my daughter's belly or moving her legs has been working for me. Both motions cause her to drift off to sleep within minutes.

My daughter was like this. The only way she would sleep was with my nipple in her mouth 😫. It. Was. Horrible.
