Bedtime bottle

My 15 mo has one bottle a day which is before bed. He has 7oz and we brush his teeth after
Keen to get rid of this and replace with a cup of milk but I know he won’t drink as much of it (he refuses milk out of all other beakers but has enough diary )
Should I give him a snack with the cup of milk as worried he will be hungry as I do dinner at 430 and bottle 630 atm. Or just later dinner? What do others do!
He sleeps through

Thanks!

When I transitioned to a straw cup my son also didn't want to drink milk. In fact he had no milk for 3 days. I reminded myself he wasn't going to starve as he ate enough through the day and drank water. I put a little bit of strawberry flavouring in his milk in his straw cup. That's how he began drinking from it. Each day I put less and less. By day 7 I didn't put any at all just milk. Since then he drinks out of any cup. He was very fussy for about 3/4 days. Also some days he gets one biscuit with his milk if I feel like he didn't have much to eat.
