1 year old and night bottle

Hi folks!
My little one is approaching 1yo. She was EBF for 6 months, combi til 10 months then bottle fed with her meals.

Currently she wakes up on average between 4-6am for a bottle. She then goes back to sleep. I've tried not giving her it but it's absolutely all she wants. She's still tired. Just reassuring doesn't work. Cuddles don't work.

I'm not complaining as I can survive with this! But most people I know certainly don't do night feeding by this point.

As such she has an early morning bottle of formula as above. A small one with her lunch but she often rejects it. Then one about an hour before bed. I've tried giving her one for bedtime but doesn't seem to make a diff.

As for meals, I feed her til she doesn't want more food.

Anyone else still have this at 1 or older?

She was born little. 2 weeks early. Still on 8th percentile as far as I know. No idea if this makes any diff!

** EBF for 8 months that should have read. Not that it probably makes any diff!

My DS is almost 2 and still has a bottle at about 4.30. I could break the habit if I really wanted to but it takes a few mins and we're all back to sleep. This was all a long-forgotten dream by the time my older DC were 6 months!

They're still so wee I'd just keep giving the bottle at this age!
They'll soon grow out if it in their own time.
My wee one is 15 months and he still likes a bottle before bed, my daughter did the same until she was 18 months then started taking a cup of warm milk.
