How do you wean a toddler off a bottle?

Hello!

My daughter is 3 & still has a bottle of milk before bed. I tell her she is a big girl now so she doesn’t need a bottle. Is it wrong for her to be still drinking from a bottle or are there a lot more others out there that still do as well? I would still allow her to have a cup of milk before bed but it just seems that she is a little old for a bottle. How do I wean her off the bottle?

My 2.5 yr old daughter sometimes asks for bottle at night time but I tell her no bottles left which I don’t have in my house so I give her water at night in a pop top bottle but all kids are different hun.

I think the main reason for not letting her carry on for me would be her teeth as the sucking of the teat pushes the front teeth forward and she could end out with her two front teeth pushed out.
Maybe say to her that now shes big she can now have a cup of warm milk before bedtime sitting down with you and maybe if you have a hot drink with her you can make it your special time just the girls together sort of thing.
Will keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂
