Why Is My 20 Month Old Fighting Naps Again?

Dear Ladies!
I have a huge trouble and don�t know, where to start, simply I feel like this forum is my final risk cause I�ve tried everything (PU/PD, wake-to-slumber, burke/pat, nothing works!). Let me start from the beginning:
My 4 month and ane calendar week old DS resembles a spirited baby, although when he wakes up, he doesn�t weep (if he�s non hungry). Since I retrieve, nosotros struggled with his naps and bedtime. At that place were times where it would accept me 10-15 min to put him to slumber, but all of a sudden after awhile, my techniques would stop working and bug would occur once again (when he was picayune, we rocked him to sleep or he slept in a sling, then slept only in babe pram, so only on my shoulder, now he desn�t cry in a pram merely just at dwelling...). He hates swaddling. He is very impatient, wants to exist everywhere and loves to play, but doesn�t know when to stop. He barely shows the states signs of tiredness and if I allow him, he would exist up three hours and then falls asleep anywhere but for xxx min only� (which means OT).
The biggest problem is, that he screams before going to bed, and I mean actually shouts, like he is angry and furious. Then cries like he needs my help. All that in my arms! After this tantrum, falls suddenly asleep, so I don�t take time to put him down and give him chance to do it on his own.
The other trouble: 45 min. naps� I effort to follow his cues, but it is totally usless. I have tried to put him to bed ane,forty min, 2 hours, 2,15min, 2,5 hours of activity, merely he would always sleep for 45 minutes only! Wakes up happy so I can�t put him to sleep over again. If he is cranky, when he wakes upward, it is possible to put him to sleep simply only in arms and past rocking (it happend few times but it�s exhausting, cause he is quite heavy as for his age).
He sleeps well at night (after thirty-40 min of struggling and shouting) with 1-2 feedings at 11 p.m. and occasionally 3 or iv p.g. Generally about 11-12 hours. Wakes up 6-7 a.k. and after his first 45 min nap, our day is a niggling mess� I endeavour to feed him every four hours, but usually ends up with three,5 hours with actress feeding just before bedtime (he doesn�t fall comatose wih a bottle!).
Last calendar week I�ve started PU/PD, cause I hoped, that it would extend his naps. The other reason was, that paci started to irritate him. The first day of PU/PD was a success. He slept 1,5 hours x 2 and 45 min without any PU (our rutine consist of walking with him on my shoulder for 10-15 min. and puting him to bed when he starts to shut his optics). Now I think, that he slept so well that day, cause he didn�t get enough sleep during the previous night� Anyway, after that day, it got worse, and then suddenly 2 meliorate days without crying (but 45 min. naps only) but since the 24-hour interval 7 he screams everytime already when I outset to walk with him in his room with him on my shoulder, every bit if he knows, that it�s a nap time and got used to, that earlier going to slumber, yous take to cry for x-20 min or so ☹ It�s very depressing for me, cause I know, that you have to exist consistent with one method only information technology�due south getting worse and worse! I�m afraid that I did something wrong and he has some kind of associations, that you cry before sleeping (cause he did that while I was PU/PD).  I accept to mention, that he has never totally fallen comatose by his own in a crib. I always have to walk with him as if to show him, that information technology�s a nap time. Information technology is incommunicable, that he would go tired while playing and I would put him to bed. I think, that he could play forever
I speculate, that maybe he doesn�t demand that much slumber as others in his age, because althoug he cries and so much earlier sleeping, he wakes up happy. When he sleeps 3 x 45 min during a day, I put him earlier to bed (like 6 p.m.) but then he wakes up at 6 a.thou. instead of 7 a.thousand.
I promise for your advice, because possibly I don�t have to be worried, maybe it�s only how he naps? This screaming makes me call back, that he is OT, but maybe he is just telling me, that he doesn�t desire to sleep withal?
The whole situation breaks my heart and I struggle self with insomnia, cause I constantly remember about my DS�s sleep
