19 month old hysterical over night and bed time

Hi all,

Within the last week, my daughter has had instances (not every time) of basically being hysterical when it comes to sleep. This could be going to bed, going for a nap, or waking in the night.

It's horrific to watch. She straightens her whole body, refuses to be touched, her eyes are closed and the scream is awful - it sounds like pain, but I don't think she is.

Last night only when she was alert enough to see me and a bottle of milk did she calm down, drink her milk, then go bed without issue.

She's just getting the last of her canines so I know she's teething.

Not sure if she's just so over tired or not! She still wakes once a night normally but otherwise bedtime is about 7pm / 7.30pm till 7am.

She's seen a doctor and nothing obviously wrong.

Any suggestions are gratefully received!
