18 mo still wanting a bottle.

Hi all,
I’m just wondering when my girl should be off bottles completely.
I’m finding it hard at bedtime as she won’t settle unless she has a bottle, she eats great and uses a cup for her water and milk throughout the day so I don’t think it’s because she’s hungry as I’ve offered other things. I think it is more of a comfort, she has a 6oz bottle and drinks 4oz at most of it.
Is there anything else I could do to try and settle her without it?

We used these Nuby sippy cups when DS was a toddler to get him off an actual bottle. It was enough like a bottle that he accepted it but not actually a bottle, it has a firm-ish silicon spout rather than a soft teat

I think he had milk in one of these at night until he was about 3. One at night before bed isn't going to do any harm as long as you brush teeth afterwards

Thank you. I will give it a try x
