Answer: Hi,
She relys on the bottle for comfort and doesn`t know how to sleep without it.
If you want her sleep through the night firstly you must settle her awake into her cot initially at night and not by feeding her to sleep and transfering her, otherwise she wakes on her ligth sleep and looks for a bottle to resettle and this just becomes one big cycle. I would strongly suggest you follow our It`s Time To Sleep settling program and teach her to sleep independently.
I bet you will find her daily intake will increase dramatically as she would be filling up on milk overnight all the time also.
I hope this helps.

Cheers, Maree
