10 month old just stands in cot at bedtime

Hello, my (very nearly) 10 month old is an excellent sleeper. He does great 2 x naps a day both about 1.5 hours and sleeps on average 10-11 hours at night. The problem is bedtime. We have a very consistent routine, bath, bottle, books, lights out and bed. As soon as I put him in bed though he pings wide awake and stands. We've had a battle trying to get him to sleep which leads him to be very overtired. I need some advice on how to help him stay lying down. x

When mine did the standing phase, I just left her. She wasn't distressed. Eventually she lay down and went to sleep. It took less time each night. Eventually the novelty of standing wore off and she just went to sleep.
