I never really thought about it either when I first started giving them their bottle at bed but I really wanted to wean them off but both parents were very hesitant to start the process. So I have taken it upon myself to wean them here. Milk (actually they are both still on formula) now goes in sippy cups and they get it with lunch. Whatever is left (which is usually a lot) gets dumped down the sink. They go to bed with nothing. I was amazed at how only a bit of crying (5minutes) and they go to sleep.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try that tomorrow and see how it goes. Of course she isn't hungry as she just finished lunch - duh, I can't believe I didn't think of that! (I know that sounds sarcastic, but it's not, I really never considered that).
