Now is not the time....

For the last 1.5 months DD has been putting herself to sleep for bed and naps with minimal fussing, maybe 5-10 minutes max. Well the last 3 days have been hell! Cried for 40 minutes Thursday night (I did the check in's and it was more like a i know you are out there not a scared cry) and yesterday maybe napped for 1.5 hours total all dayand that was on and off in the car on errands. UGH what is going on?! And to top it off we are going to my parents for Thanksgiving and I really don't want to have to nurse her to sleep. (I have went back to that yet but I fear I may so she doesn't cry a ton while we are there).
Is she testing us to see if we are really going to stick with this? I thought maybe teething but I looked at her gums and they dont seem to be swollen or anything and no ther symptoms.

Re: Now is not the time....
There must be something going on, I don't see how old your LO is but she may be going through Separation anxiety, teething or ear infection/illness coming on.
Its ok to nurse LO to sleep, then once this passes try again on putting her down like before. Whatever gets sleep!
Does she have a lovey or something to snuggle with? DS2 was like this too, especially at DC. She suggested a lovey, as he started snuggling with his sleepsack! Now he goes down like a dream again. He just has a little Carter's type bear lovey, and he sleeps with it during naps and at night. I move it if he drapes it over his face (he likes the satin part), but other than that he snuggles it under his arm, and sleeps much better now.
She is almost 7 months. I just don't want to back track and fall into old habits. We'll see how tonight goes but I will nurse her to sleep if I have to.
