8 month old waking during night?

My 8 month old has a great appetite (eats 3 good sized meals everyday) but is still waking twice a night for milk. Some have suggested not offering milk but she wakes up crying and the only thing that settles her is a bottle and she does completely finish it and then falls straight back to sleep, so I wouldn't feel comfortable not giving it to her.
Just wondering if others have experienced this at this age and could it be part of growth spurt/regression? As she previously used to sleep 12 hours straight but has been waking up during the night for the last couple of months now..

Totally normal and could be plenty of things- sleep regression, development "leaps", teething. If she's settling straight back down quickly after her bottle then I wouldn't worry.
I'm jealous of her sleeping through the night prior to that. At 8 months neither of my 2 had EVER slept through the night.
