what am I doing wrong?

[¤ Efka ¤]

I am loosing my patience , I just do not understand is it me doing something wrong or what? Getting my to take a nap is such a trouble. No, let me rephrase it it is not trouble to get him down, but to get him stay asleep. I watch his sleep cues. Change diaper, kind of swaddle him, his hands swaddled but room for legs to kick . He usually starts to scream then. So I hold him sing to him, then one minute he stops  and closes eyes. I put him down, sometimes he starts to cry again , I shush or sing in his ear(otherwise he would not hear me) and generally he closes eyes again an seems sleeping. at this point I never know what is coming. Will he be seemingly sleeping for a 2-5 minand start to cry again or sleep for a 30 min and start again. Mind you i does not matter do I shush pat this time or no. Still if he has pattern to start to wake every 2-5 min he does that despite me shushing. I am just confused and do not know what to do
How to break this pattern, because it makes him overtired and more and more cranky which m akes falling asleep more impossible.

Unfortunately we live in shared apartment so we don't have too much going around room. Anyway. I usually try to put him for nap around 1hour awake time. And our awake time is always low key, just lying in bed or on my lap or me holding him and going around. ANd he fights, Could it be too much or too little A time. I am so confused.I guess my problem with swaddling is I do not have big enough blanket to do it. need to find something.

And it seems to me after he's done screaming and closes his eyes before nap still on my lap, he seems to be almost asleep by then. Do I hold him too long? But otherwise I put him down screaming And then when I put him down I see what is going on, sometimes he stays calm and sleeps, other times starts to scream again. And then I shush in his ear. I do not pat , seems to me he do not like it, but apply little pressure on his chest. Anyway after he is quiet I remove my hand and come away from his ear and shushing little away from him. You think it is good or should I change something?

But in this case I put screaming baby in bed?Because after he is swaddled he stats to scream. ANd I can't to winddown.
Thanks for the link I try this Aussie swaddle, looks like we do partly aussie swaddle. I try it with sheet.
