Don't give her one!: At 2 years old you don't need to feed in the middle of the night, she is doing this because she can. Just tell her to go back to sleep and she can have a bottle in the morning or even would start using sippie cup at this age. The first few nights might be rough just don't give in and she will realize there is no sense asking anymore. Be strong mom.

Take her to a : pediatric dentist to check for cavities & to her pediatrician to learn why it's time to ditch all her bottles. Use open-mouth cups that she can't carry around & sip from. At consistent nap-& bedtimes, brush her teeth, read, put her in her own bed in her own room drowsy, but awake, to learn to self-calm for sleep. Consistently ignore her night-crying. It will get worse for a few nights, then stop.

Water only: Its likely just a pattern issue and one you can break.Put nothing other than water in the requested bottle. If she tosses it you have won, but put the ear muffs on and ignore the request for milk or any other cavity prone fluid. Once she stops resetting her calorie clock at night,( those feeds reduce daytime eating) she will quit waking.
