Help, my toddler is struggling to go to bed for my husband

My toddler, who is coming up to 4 has always done bedtime with her daddy since about the age of 1. However for the last month she has had full on meltdowns if he tries to out her to bed. These cn go on for over an hour. Crying, refusing to put on her PJs, or go for a wee, or brush her teeth. Whatever the next step is she just won't do it. Obviously she is little so she can kick out or hit, cry or scream. For context we had another baby 6 months ago. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you find anything that helps? Or any suggestions of what I can try. My baby is exclusively breast feeding. We have tried to introduce a bottle and it didn't work. In a couple of weeks we are planning to start him on a sippy cup. But until he is secure at it, I have to breast feed him before bed.

She's testing boundaries (as she should at this age, a part of her development). I have my LG and a 9 month old, she can be the same Sometimes but I have always done bedtime with her and my fiancée does our son's (they have a similar bedtime). Have you asked her why she is having the meltdowns? I could understand if it had gone from you doing her bedtime then moving to your husband because of baby, but doesn't seem that way...... How is she towards you? She plays up with him....Does she play up with you? X
