Giving up the bottle

Can anyone give me advice on when a little one really shouldn't have a bottle to go to bed anymore! My DD is nearly two and she likes a bottle of milk with her stories, should I be considering giving it up or just wait until she is ready? We have another baby on the way in three months time, so not sure to do it before then or jsut leave it?

My dd is almost 2 and she still has a bottle of milk at bedtime and I dont see myself stopping it for a while. She loves it and I like the special time it gives me her at the end of the day. IMO you may find it a lovely routine to keep up with her when the new baby arrives, giving her some special one on one time with you and helping avoid any jealousy. I really dont think a bottle at bedtime is a bad thing and am not sure when I'll stop giving to her. Maybe when she says she doesn't want it any more!
