Warm milk in a bottle before bed

My DD is four and still has a bottle of warm milk before bed. I heat it up in the microwave. I didn't really see the harm in this.

However, I've now just read an article saying about the dangers of microplastics and am mortified of the possible risk this could put her under.

I'm now going to stop doing this. Any tips on how to do this?

Maybe get her to choose a special mug, and make a big deal of how she's big enough to have her milk in a mug now? You can get some smaller ones.

Is be more worried about her teeth , do you clean them after the bottle?

That's a good idea @skyeisthelimit and yes @LoafofSellotape we do clean them. She has sugar free oat milk anyway, but still better to brush
