How to end the habit of bottle milk at night

My 27 months old daughter drinks milk properly during day from glass. But still she need a feed of milk in the middle of the night that too from a bottle. If I do not give her milk she wakes up and would not go to sleep till she gets milk. I tried to give her milk after dinner before going to bed. But she is not ready to take it at that time. If I force her she will vomit it out.
Another thing I tried is giving milk in a glass but she would just cry to get milk in bottle. Ultimately I would give up. Please tell me how to stop this habit of hers.
Its just a habit which your daughter is used to. My son also was used to having one middle night feed. I got him over it. I just stopped giving him any milk in between sleep. Even if he cried I would not give him any milk.
I give him dinner a little early and and milk before going to bed. Now he is used to this routine and never asks for any milk during sleep.
zohra,
If you are really determined to get your daughter out of this habit you have to be strong and do not give up on her crying. Just stop this for once and all.
Its just like some habit which any adult could also have.
