I feel like we've taken 10 steps back

This is my fault. Over Xmas period DH was off work which of course was amazing. Our son who is 8 months old had been in his bedside cot and was managing through the night. Sometimes needing a bottle about 5am and a few times we would just pop his dummy in.

We ended up having long lies and brought him into sleep with us. I suppose it was a novelty

Now here we are. He's waking up kicking his legs doesn't want a bottle but I feel like he wants in bed with us..and to be honest... I've been letting him because he falls asleep instantly and I feel human in the morning because of the fab sleep

We were hoping to put him into his own room soon but what do I do?

Do I introduce another bottle when he wakes up about 3.3pam. I know that If I were to let him in bed with us he would fall right asleep but I don't want to do that.

If I introduce a bottle at this time I can put him back to bed again and it'd like starting this whole routine again

I'm so angry at myself. I feel like I've failed for some reason.
