18 month old vomitting at night

I've a 18 month old daughter , she is recently vomitting at night, its been going on for more than a week now, she goes to bed with milk bottle , and i've tried a lot not giving her bottle in bed but she cries uncontrolably and then throws up, and if i give her bottle she sleeps but gets up after an hour or so and cries as if she is very uncomfortable and then throws up a lot, after that she again ask for an ounce or so of milk then sleeps fine whole night, this has been going on since a week, i've tried so many things but nothing is working, i've tried not to give her bottle and offer her milk in a sippy cup but she wont drink it whole day and at night cry for her bottle to sleep and if i dont give her she vomits by crying a lot , pls help me what should i do. During day also she takes milk 2 times in a bottle but never vomits.

i take xrays for a living and we have a lot of babies come in with that..it seems to always be reflux which would explain why it is happening at night and the milk probably soothes it.

nowdays she is not throwing up since a Week , as i've started giving her fat  free milK at night and abt 6-7 once i give her at bedtime just before sleeping and maximum 1 more time i give her b/w 4-5 in morning, i know she does'nt need that but I am cutting it gradually, cos i've even tried crying it out for around 35 minutes but she does'nt give up.its very hard dealing with her anyways thanxs a lot for ur reply.
can u pls suggest a way to make her go to sleep without the bottle without much of crying episode!

I wonder if she is throwing up because of too much milk in her belly.  I realize that she needs the bottle to go to sleep, but I'm thinking that you are going to have to get away from that.  It's going to be hard I know, but trust me, when it's done, both of your lives will be so much better!
