My goddaughter is 4 innovember and has just last week started not having her bedtime bottle. She didnt drink it in bed, but always everynight before bedtime, wouldnt go to sleep wthout it. Then the other night she didnt get given it and she didnt ask for it and just went to bed. So are you more concerned with the bottle itself, or the milk or the bottle in bed aspect?

My mum told me a finny story about how she got my brother off the bottle in bed...lol
My parents went out for dinner one night and left my brother with our neighbours who were dairy farmers. He was about 2. The lady put him to bed and gave him a bottle as he always had, wouldnt sleep without it, and she went out. About 15 mins later she went back into the room after my brother started screaming hysterically. There was vomit everywhere, he was fine but really shaken up from al the vomit. She was beside herself!! Couldnt figure it out. Then she told mum that she hadnt given him formula, she had given him fresh cows milk because thats what all her kids had ben raised on (dairy farm lol)!!
My brother never took a bottle again after that.
