Dd was 12 mon the but we still give her milk before bed now, just in a sippy cup. She liked it over the bottle as she could drink it faster anyway. Now we've just transitioned to a big girl cup and she's coping okay with that too.
My DD2 is almost 18 months. She has a bottle of milk at night before bed, and then has a breast feed as she is going off to sleep. She sleeps much better if she has that last bottle, and so I sleep better too! If she doesn't have the bottle, she is on the boob all night and I get no sleep. She will not drink the milk from a sippy cup, although she has water all day in her cups.
My kid is 18 months old. She's still on the bottle. She's still on the boob. Honestly, after three kids, I don't care at all!! She'll stop wanting a bottle when she's ready, just as she'll wean from the breast when she's ready. She'll stop co-sleeping... when she's ready!! Don't make this job harder for yourself by stressing over the things which, in the big scheme of things, are not so important.
Now... if I could just convince my mother to stop hassling me about weaning, co-sleeping...
