bottles at bedtime

[Starshine79]

I've quite successfully managed to stop my 19 month old daughter having a bottle during the day, as she is quite happy to drink out of a beaker, but the only way i can get her off to sleep at night is with a large bottle of milk or ovaltine. Any suggestions of other ways i could get her to sleep, she very rarely has naps during the day!

Why is the bottle of milk a problem? One of my daughters persisted with a bedtime bottle of plain milk until she was about four (!) and I ended up seeing it as a good source of calcium. Her teeth are fine, and in the end she just gave it up of her own accord.
