One year old constantly tossing and turning at night

My beautiful rainbow baby just turned one three days ago. For the last two and half weeks she constantly tossing and turns in her cot to the point she wakes herself up and can't get back to sleep
I'll add she's never been a great sleeper I've done everything to get her to sleep and only thing that works is contact naps and sleep.
She used to sleep in the cot fine bit with the constant waking up we decided to put her In with us.
Now here's the thing. I bed nap with her so I sleep too and she doesn't toss and turn, but when it comes to bedtime she does and it's exhausting i get two to three hours a night now. She used to be in a sleep bag then got too big now the weather's changed she's in short and pj top as our house is warm in summer. I've gave her a banana before bed, porridge with chia seeds, massage, white noise etc and stil does this.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I've asked the HV to come out and see her but I don't get why she do it with her naps

Hi! I came across your post because I am going through the same thing with my baby that just turned one. Do you have an update? What happened?

Hi, well she still does it now but not as much. She's just restless takes it off me. We have left her in bed with us now but taken cot bumper off and pushed it against our bed so it's one.big bed. Appears to have helped but what I find helps is a good laughing session before bed. Like gey baby giggling away like mad and apparently that releases good endorphins which help sleep
