So does that mean she drank a litre of miIk before she actually went to sleep?It can become a problem as my mother always said to me that milk is a food and it can fill them up just like food does and then they wont eat their regular meals.Maybe if she wont sleep you may have to persist at it for a while and only offer the second bottle as water.She will get to know that she wont get more milk and only water and come to not want the second bottle at bed time.Good luck.

If it is interferring with the amount of solids she is having then it could be a problem.  But if it is a one off then i'm sure that would be ok.  As others have suggested if she is waking for the milk then it's not a good idea, also having milk at night and going back to sleep is not good for a babies teeth.  The sugars in the milk will stay in the mouth and could contribute to decay.  Water would be a better option.

Is your little girl eating her meals during the day?  Sometimes too much milk will reduce a child's appetite for meals.  The nutrition from the meals offers a wide variety of vitamins and minerals and fibre.  If a child constantly replaces meals with milk, they will not get an adequate variety of nutrients.

If that quantity of milk was a rare event, then it will do no harm.  You may find a change in her nappies for a day or two.  She may be having a growth spurt or teething. 

When you're not so tired it would be a good idea to try the water instead of milk as recommended by Idybqsqma99.  We did that with our children and it worked.  It made getting rid of the nightime bottle easier too.

When my children were babies, my grandmother who was this wise old English woman, told me that if you give a baby water when they wake up in the middle of the night,  they will decide that it isn't worth waking up for and will stay asleep.  I tried it with my children and from the time they were two weeks old, they took a bottle of milk at bedtime and then slept all night long.  I hope that it helps a little.
