Crying when put into cot for bedtime!

Do you think she might be going through a big development leap. Is she starting to crawl or cruise around on furniture. My little one was the same for about 5 days including split nights and generally very unsettled and clingy. Back to normal afterwards. So no tips but hope it passes quickly x
Little one started doing this with us not that long ago for a few days, it was really hard but we actually found lingering about in her room, picking her up and putting her down actually made it worse, almost like she was thinking, if you’re here I should be picked up and not sleep. I ended up leaving the room and she settled almost immediately, I know it’s so hard to hear them cry, but it could be worth a try. I don’t mean endlessly, obviously! Like leaving the room and putting a timer on your phone for 3 minutes or something to see if she does realise it’s now bedtime and go to sleep and if she’s still upset after the timer then going in and doing whatever you normally do to soothe 😊 I hope it gets better soon!
When my other two children started to either teeth, go through a growth spurt or reach new milestones they would have this crying time when I put them down. It's not fun, but make sure comfort and then back to bed.
Yes although we are sleeping in the same room, my LG doesn't want to sleep in her cot ! I've tried and tried so resorted to co sleeping and going to try again next week 🙃
