PinkLilly I really hope it is just a short stage. DD was doing this a bit last week and a bit this week too, to put her down at night I had to wrap her really tight and hold her against me, rock her, shush her, try to keep a dummy shoved in her mouth with my breast all at the same time. She would fight for about five minutes before even calming down to a point where she could be settled. Thankfully it didn't go on for very long (touch wood) and she does sleep through the night. She is teething too and bonjela has become my best friend.
ETA - I've just put her down for a nap and she fought for about five minutes.... I put her in the rocker, with some chillout music on really quite loud and rocked it. she was crying but protesting crying, not hysterical crying. After about five minutes she went into vacant stare and then finally conked out. I guess if you know she's tired you just have to persist through the protests. Not easy though,
