13 month old screams self to sleep every night and still waking to be breastfed

Just that really - for months now the only way my daughter has gone to sleep is by screaming herself to sleep. It sounds horrible but I cannot work out a way to calm her down if I pick her up she only gets way worse and worked up and throws herself out of my arms so I have to put her down which she gets more upset about and throws herself on the floor. In the end always end up putting her down then she screams in her crib for 10-30 mins or so until she falls asleep.
I think she’s too hyper at bedtime but nothing I do works I have a 4 year old son who’s up too and doesn’t help she wants desperately to play with him and his toys.
She also still wakes several times a night to nurse whatever I try I cannot stop it no matter how hard I try. She won’t nurse properly in the day as she will NEVER sit still more than about 10 seconds max all day, when she feeds in the day she’ll drink a few seconds and then lets off then back again and off about 10 times.
It’s driving me crazy any help please appreciated 🙏
Also I will add she cries for each nap too but usually only for a minute before sleeping and she has 2 1.5 hour naps in the day yet still seems tired and grouchy a lot of the time, and she goes to bed at 7 usually and wakes properly around 7am - although is up 2-3 times a night.

Lactose intolerance? Sounds like ds 1.

Breast milk quite high in lactose. I put ds1 on low lactose milk, like a completely different baby in 12 hours.

Hope it gets sorted soon, it's so stressful Flowers
