Getting LO to sleep in own bed again..

Any tips? She refuses point blank to nap in her bed at all anymore: it’s been weeks now and she refuses. We’d had the odd try of refusing at bedtime but until last week was nothing major and she settled fine. Now every nights a battle, we’ve had to hold her to sleep, get her back out of bed otherwise she stands at the side crying to get out and won’t lay down. We’d usually stay on a mattress next to her cot and she’d settle back off again to sleep but now she cries to come out and has slept on the mattress with either me or dad. So now we’ve ended up co-sleeping between us in the spare room on the bed so we’re not on just a mattress!

But we don’t want to keep it up. Nothings changed in regards to routine etc, so I’m confused what’s happened but we’re all knackered. Shes always been a good sleeper! Until last Friday she’d given up her dummy over the week and sleeping through the night, 10-12 hours straight🥲 now it’s a complete switch up and naps/bedtimes are a nightmare tbh. I get such anxiety coming to bedtime and when I go to bed because I just don’t know how the night will go again now😢
