Help - afternoon naps (or lack thereof)!

Gwen has always been a good napper for the most part but for the past 3-4 weeks she has fought her afternoon nap and I don't know what to do! She shows the signs when she's tired - sucks her thumb, yawns, rubs her eyes, etc - but when I go to put her down she starts crying, fussing, standing up in the crib. I try just leaving her to cry it out sometimes but she can get LOUD, like I'm sure people 10 blocks away could hear She'll fall asleep in the car, in the stroller, etc no problem. But in the crib, it's a battle. It took me 40 minutes this afternoon to get her down. Any suggestions?

I just posted a reply for you on the Canada board :-)

Saw it, thanks I never know if I should post on both boards or not since this one still doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic.

Danica is fighting her naps too. With the teething, she's a mess. Will only nap on my chest... won't nap elevated in her crib, her swing, or bouncy chair for more than 15 minutes.... wish I had advice for ya
