9 mo won’t sleep in cot at night

My DD not long turned 9 months old and has always been a pretty good sleeper. She usually wakes in the night 2/3 times for a feed, but the past few days she is waking EVERY time I put her in her cot.

She feeds to sleep and this has never been a problem before. She goes down for her naps fine and also goes down for her night time sleep with no issues. But the past few days she has woken about 1:30/2 hours into her sleep and then will wake up crying when I put her back to bed. It has reached the point where she will only sleep in our bed, which is something I really want to avoid as we have never bed shared, only room shared.

She has been teething so I initially put it down to that, but I can seem to work out why she goes down great for naps and when she first goes down for bed.

any ideas or help would be really appreciated!

sorry if I’ve rambled or haven’t made much sense, I haven’t felt this sleep deprived since the newborn stage.

I had the same around the same age too. My doctor told me teeth tend to move more during sleep so they suffer most in the middle of the night when they've been asleep a while, and that when you lay them down the blood pressure change increases the pain in their gums, I don't know how true it is but we did find Calpol helped for those terrible nights xx

I thought we were on to something with it being teething but it turns out it isn’t the issue. Her 4th tooth has popped through but the night wakings and resisting going back into her own bed are still going strong.
any other tips, recommendations or advise is greatly welcomed. I’m one very sleep deprived mama haha
