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!

My youngest daughter has 4 boys....at age 1, on their birthday, they get to throw the bottle in the

trash...of course by then they are drinking from a cup, & eating healthy foods...not that your child

isn't eating well...a small snack before bed...AND you can also brush her teeth at that age..

this has worked well in our family, maybe it will help you...i do know she never gave any one of

her boys a bottle in bed...good luck
