So, this can be a touchy subject. It could be that the parent is more attached than the child. I agree with the other replies in advising that bottles be used in the infant room only, getting the parent on board and finding the reason as to why the child still needs this comfort. However, Texas Minimum Standards, 746.2505 4 - C, states that children (toddlers) should "never be allowed to sleep with or walk around with a bottle or training cup."
We use the standards often when these kinds of situations come up and when the parent sees that our hands are tied and we have no choice, then they quickly get on board and the child adjusts in short order. It's just a matter of pointing out the facts.
I hope this helps.

Hello,
I have a question, how you can stop a three years old child from drinking milk in a bottle during napping?
