Hi! This is My first post.
Baby boy bottle fed almost one

I desperately need help my boy is turning one in two weeks we co sleep (partner sleep downstairs as he wakes up at 4am to go work and he just can't be quiet!!) baby boy has always co slept since about 2weeks old. Has never slept through the night he's done 8hrs one offs here and there. He still gets a bottle in the night I have tried to stop it he just won't go back to sleep until I give it to him. He will sleep 7pm roll bottle(different times) and back down again till 7. And when I have work the next day I give in. I don't want him to move out of my bed but I'm knackered he's getting bigger and it's taking a toll on our relationship:( plus I would like another child, quite hard when we don't sleep in the same bed lol!! He HATES the cot so I'm thinking in his own room next door to us leave both doors wide open, there's a double bed in there basically put the mattress on the floor and put him with blanket and with my pillow and put gate over the landing and close the bathroom and spare room doors. He can get out of beds and walk but the double bed is to high and he's way to young incase he rolls. I'm hoping he will sleep until bottle then go back to sleep but in his bed. And if he does wake up just walk to my room???? I don't mind if it's 5am obwards tbh, I just don't know what to do 😭😭😭😭 is a mattress on the floor even safe!!!?? Or put him straight to a toddler bed??? Or try the cot? (He literally breaks his heart when he wakes up in his cot) I will NOT do controlled crying

DD slept on the mattress on our floor until she was 20 months. It meant she could be put down to sleep and then we could leave and have an evening. DH and I would spend alternative nights sleeping with her and in the spare room. At 13 months she stopped waking for a bottle.

He is still very little.
