No  real advice.  My sister's children are 7 and 4 and still want their sippys of milk to go to sleep.  I am sure you will get some great advice from these wonderful ladies though.  Welcome!!!!

My dd is 3.5 and still has milk at bedtime. I don't see it as a problem. But if you don't like it you could offer her warmed milky cereal before bed and a smaller amount of milk.

DD still gets a cup of milk before bed (about 1hr before, sometimes just before brushing teeth).  I don't see a problem with this.  However are you concern because she is taking too much milk?  How is she eating?  If you think that she is using milk as a meal then maybe try giving her a snack with a little bit of milk.  When dd was younger, she would take her milk in bed as we read stories.  To break the habit, I started to give her the milk earlier and downstairs as we read books or play board games.  It took about a week or so and she was fine with it.
