Baby refuse to nap in cot

My 1 month old baby slept well at night. I can easily put him to sleep. But during the day, is very hard to get him to nap. He will fall asleep in my arms and i will put him in the cot. But he will wake up shortly (10mins) and cry. I will have to carry him again and this keeps on repeating. I notice he loves to be carried to sleep. I am really tired and worry as i know sleep is important for newborns. Any mummies face this issues and any tips to get him to nap?

me.. exactly same issue! have to carry to nap every single time. once put down on bed, wakes up in less than 15 mins. then have to carry again and repeat everything. recently I gave up and tried pacifier.. I did not carry baby to sleep. I directly put on bed with pacifier and tap to sleep. baby can nap for an hour plus!
