I need my bed back! SOS

From around 3 months of age, our daughter has always pretty much slept through til 7/8am after her bedtime bottle. When she was 9 months, she developed an incredibly nasty cold and the only way to get her to settle was by putting her in bed with us...
We are now in an awful habit (she’s now 11months) of waking around 2am and will only again settle when she’s back in bed with us!!
She’s had 3 sleepovers with my sister and has slept from 7pm-8am perfectly everytime and she doesn’t do her nighttime routine any different to us!
How do we go about getting our bedtime angel back?
I sleep so poorly when she’s in with us, she’s constantly feeling out for her bunny or for me and between her and my partner I’m always pushed out to the literal edge of the bed!

We had this with oldest DS after we put him in his own room at nine months. When he woke in the night, he wouldn’t settle in his own bed, despite happily going to sleep there in the evening, and would end up in with us. It continued until he finally slept through when he was about fifteen months. I hated letting him cry and nobody got any sleep so we brought him in and I was just grateful he was sleeping, to be honest! It was finally sleeping through that knocked it on the head. Maybe once your little girl goes back to sleeping though, you’ll be able to break the habit. Haven’t got any advice on how to make that happen though, DS just did it himself.
