I would not change to a bottle lamb if he seems to be getting full during a nursing. Too much trouble and the natural milk is better. Just keep doing what you are doing... it is working. He will be looking for more solid food sooner this way if he is still hungry and mixing in with the others will teach him quicker to eat.
I think you have it working... don't look to try to mix it up now. He might even try stealing off the other ewe if he "gets it" that the other ewe stands still for her lamb.
