8 month old still having night feed

Our 8 month girl still wakes every night for a bottle. We have reduced the amount to a half bottle, with a view to stopping it, but she seems really hungry. Her teeth aren't yet through so she is refusing most solid food in the day, although we always try. Im worried if I stop the night feed it will just leave her more hungry. She is having 3 full bottles in the day. Should I try stopping it now, or wait until her teeth are through and she settles down??? Any thoughts really welcome. Thanks.

Could you try fitting in another bottle during the day and then start cutting the night one down further. DS gave up his night bottle at 8 months but still had 4 daytime feeds along with his solids.
