Dental caries: First of all, drinking while shes sleeping increases the possibility of her developing dental caries, caused by the milk sugars retained in her mouth. At her age she should be drinking 216-20 ounces of milk.

Bad habit !!!: First you need to train baby to eat when she wakes up, not while sleeping. This leads to long term sleep disturbances (4 years) and destruction of the teeth over time. 24 to 32 ounces of formula is the maximum most infants should consume in 24 hours.
