Daytime Naps

Help! My 3mo baby can only sleep /nap either in my arms or carrier in the day. I attempt to put her in bed after she falls asleep in my arms, she wakes immediately and cries. I've tried putting her in bed before she falls asleep and pat her, success rate is about 1%. I don't know what else I can do ?

I went through those dark days too 😭 Zip swaddle plus super firm patting gave me a higher success rate for a while.. but failed after 4.5 months. Night sleep trained her at 4.5 months, then nap trained her at 5 months. Had to do cry it out method. Heart pain but nothing else worked. Now every day, for every nap and sleep, I just turn on white noise and fan, close curtains, walk out and close the door (baby monitor’s on). She sleeps on her own every time.
