I would have strongly urged you not to let only one person put your daughter to bed. I always try to have both my husband and myself put our daughters to sleep, so that they are flexible and can cope with one or the other of us not being there. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do at this late date, except let her cry a bit, try to soothe her as best you can, and wait until she is exhausted and falls asleep. It's not going to be pretty, because she wants her normal caregiver, which unfortunately, isn't you. Hopefully by the time your mother returns, your daughter will be used to you or your dh putting her to sleep, and when grandma comes back, I'd try to let her do all sorts of things for your daughter, EXCEPT the bedtime routine. At least for a few months, until your daughter can be out to bed by both you and your husband without issue.
Good luck. --
