I'm not one to take things away by a certain age. I follow baby's cue. Ill try it once if she doesn't take to it, I stop and continue what we were doing.
My oldest was 3 1/2 when she stopped drinking from a bottle only for bed, then brushed her teeth. It was her comfort.
She used a pacifier until 3. Some say that's too old, but they are my kids. Nobody knows them like I do.
Follow what u feel is right Hun. Only you can make the choice.
Btw my oldest never took a sippy cup. -
If baby will take a cup, there's no reason to keep using a bottle. But if baby is super attached to the bottle, there also no reason to rush her off if it right away. Maybe just start offering a cup, and see how it goes. -
That is up to you.
I start weaning my kids from their bottles around 11 months of age. By 12 months, they're using sippy cups only.

I kept it until a year... Then her bottles transitioned into sippy cups ( born free) -
My son took himself off bottles at 8 months -
This :)

Should I try to get her to give it up at 4? I tried at 3 and it was a disaster. She screamed and cried for six weeks and fell asleep at 11PM, midnight or 1AM.

My dd had no signs of giving it up either. However, she kept dropping it and I had to go on a search party looking for the damn thing. One day she dropped it and I told her to look for it. We looked and looked n nothing. So, I told her that's it. I'm not going to look for it anymore or buy you another one. I was seriously fed up with hunting it down. That day was the last time she used it.
The first week was a little rough. She did wake up, but we put her in bed with us. We just reminded her she was a big girl and they didn't use binkeys.
