Hello,
The best way to stop bottle feeding is to stop it suddenly. But as a child may require some nutrition and food in the middle of the night, what you can do is give her solid food just before sleeping so that it will stay put in the stomach for some time and she will not wake up in the middle of the night for feeds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
