19 month daughter won't sleep for dad!

Hi can anyone help please!
My 19 month old has always been a good sleeper, sleeping 11-12 hours per night. I work night shift (10pm-6am) and for the last 2 weeks when I'm at work she is awake crying/screaming/unsettled/ just an absolute nightmare for her dad. I'm constantly getting messages while I'm at work that she won't settle, she wants to play, he's tried everything and it's not working. She finally settles about 5am, He works day shift so obviously needs his sleep too.
The last two days I have come home and not slept, just stayed up with her. She's so tired but refusing naps and I'm exhausted. I'm 28 weeks pregnant so really need my sleep after work, it's making me ill. Thing is I only work 3 nights a week and she's unsettled on every one of those nights. When I'm home she sleeps through, She's in bed fast asleep before I leave for work so she doesn't know I'm not there? I just don't know what to do. Any help would be really appreciated!! TIA

Is she breastfed?

No she's not, she only breastfed for the first month because she could never latch properly.
