Is it ok to let a 1 year old have a bottle in bed?

My little girl is almost a year old (next week) and she still doesn't sleep through the night because she is little for her age and still needs to eat. She's been on a growth spurt and is waking up 4 times a night. To maximize sleep, I starting making a bottle and just giving it to her in her crib.

I know doctors say not to, but is she old enough she's ok? Did you give your kids bottles in bed? Is it a bad habit?

Sometimes it better to ask moms and dads than doctors because you get practical advise!

Thanks!

No bottles in bed, lots of babies can fall asleep or choke! Plus they tell you not to because you really need to wipe out your babies gums after a bottle, the milk can sit in the gums and if you dont practice good dental hygiene they can have teeth and gum problems before they even cut teeth.
