Has anyone else's child seemingly had a personality transplant when turning 1?

I've honestly gone from having the happiest, giggliest, loving baby to what I can only describe as a mini demon overnight since she turned 1 last week.

She doesn't know what she wants, she'll scream if I hold her, scream if I put her down, bites me, scratches and pulls my hair, not content with playing alone for 10 minutes whilst I do laundry/washing up etc. Refuses most of her lunch and dinner, constantly tries to get at the dog, throws things like her water bottle across the room until it eventually broke. I've given her calpol/nurofen in case it's another tooth coming. She used to love baths, now she screams bloody murder. Don't get me started on changing nappies, it's what I imagine it's like to be wrestling a crocodile who's doing a death roll.

She was never like this and I feel like somebody's replaced my happy little girl.

I don't know what's happened but I've been in tears all morning and DH has just taken her into town whilst I have a long hot bath and destress a bit.

This happened with mine just after her 12month jabs took about 6 weeks to wear off she was just horrific. I googled it and I think it does make them feel off for a while while it takes effect she was teething too!

Your child's personality will change frequently over the next 18 years, hunker down!
