My 14 months old son takes long naps (2 hour nap, and 1 hour nap) with his sitter, but only if she is holding him the whole time.  He cries if she puts him in the crib and will not sleep more than 20 minutes.  During the weekend, same problem occurs.  I'm stilling nursing him and he sleep great at night.  He sleep for about 10 hours straight, nurses and then sleeps for 2 more hours. 

I'm having great difficulty with naps though.  Should I let him cry it out?

Not sure if you will get this since you posted this a few months ago, but I had the same problem when my son was about 6 months old. Slept 12 hours straight at night, but wouldn't take a nap longer than 20 min during the day. I did a lot of research and found out that he could possibly be overtired. So the plan was to put him to bed 2 hours earlier for 5 nights (answering all night feedings because there is bound to be a couple). It worked! I never thought my son would go to bed that early, but he did with no problem. By day five his naps had extended to 2 to 3 hours (at that age, he needed those long naps). If your issue isn't resolved yet, this might be something to try.
