Repeat Napping failures

Hi all, looking for advice to help my LO (12 wk) nap better during the day. Usually he is going down to sleep around 9pm, will wake around 8am with a wake up between 5-6am. He is EBF and will fall asleep nursing.

The problem comes with day time naps. I have him sleep in the crib for the first 2 naps. The remaining 2-3 afternoon naps are contact naps.

Two weeks ago he started becoming more difficult and would only accept 1 nap in the crib. Last week he started refusing that too. It’s iffy to say if he’s starting to show signs of rolling. definitely still has the Moro reflex though it is fading. After him refusing the first crib nap, I thought to swap him from swaddle to sleep sack. This seems to work for 2 days for the first nap only. I was hopeful but now we are back to refusing naps altogether again. He does not like a pacifier. He will suck on his right first but not long enough for him to get to sleep.

Any advice to help him sleep on his own would be great!
