hello Ellie is 10months old now and has always been a good sleeper, i would put her to bed at 7 with a bottle and she would sleep till 7am, but the last three night when i have put her to bed all she does is scream nothing has changed in her routine and she is still having her milk so i have no idea what the problem is with her or what to do. it takes her a good hour of crying before she goes to sleep which is heart breaking to hear ijust dont know what to do. any advice wouls be great

That must be awful for you 
If it's a new issue and she's so upset she cries for an hour, maybe something is wrong? She might have teeth coming through or tummy pains or something like that.
Have you tried giving her paracetamol or something to see if it settles her down? I hope you work it out

poor little thing.
It's probably teething, that was the very first thing that came to my mind while reading your post. Try comforting a little more/longer before bed. Try giving her some medicine maybe a half hour or so before bed that way it has time to settle and maybe she will just pass out when it's time for bed.
I hope it's something as simple as that

maybe she is not tired at 7? Isaac used to cry like that if we put him to bed too early.
have you tried keeping her up a little later, or really tiring her out before bedtime? maybe adjusting naptime would do the trick?
just throwing some ideas out there.

 Even my baby was having same problem, she used to cry loudly in night. I was not sure why she is crying so I also tried same thing and it helped me too. Thanks for posting this thread.
