8 month old refusing sleep in the middle of the night

Jo

Started a few nights ago, the kiddo would wake up around 10-11pm screaming. Eventually we could console her but only for a short time then she'd wake up again screaming. As i type this its 1:25am and my 8 month is busy playing instead of sleeping. When i lay her in the crib or in my arms she starts screaming again. She is currently teething but that doesnt seem to be the problem since it appears she would rather be awake and playing. She usually naps for 30mins-1hr 3x a day with the last nap around 1pm.
