Baby won’t settle at bedtime

My daughter has an 11 month old little girl. Shes having real problems in settling her down at bedtime. Shes always breastfed her to sleep and continues to do so, but more recently baby is fussing to be put down for sleep. She starts to get very upset and agitated when put down. My daughter then picks her up and tries rocking her to no avail. Baby (and mum) then get very upset and it’s causing lots of tension. I’ve no idea how or what to advise, but know this is causing exhaustion in both my daughter, her husband and baby. Daughter’s husband is very supportive and hands on. Help!

Could she be over tired/not tired enough. I'd try looking at naps, or could be separation anxiety. Babies are a minefield for sleep at this age
