Any help with a 21 month old who wants company at night???

My 21 mth old ds has never been a great sleeper. We managed to get him to sleep 8.30pm to approx 5.30am with controlled crying techniques and then we brought him into our bed in the early hrs.

Only problem now - he wants to stay there!! He cries out every 1-2 hrs recently and goes to sleep very quickly when we go in and tell him to cuddle his toys and sleep but it doesn't last. He only sleeps solidly when he's in our bed! I'm sure he wants to be with us and I feel cruel not letting him but am exepcting another one soon and I don't think we can cope with a baby and a toddler in our bed!

Any ideas what to do at this age as letting him cry it out is no longer working.
