Bedtime bottle?

I need some opinions.  We're weaning and tonight is our last bedtime nursing session (we'll still nurse in the morning for about another week or so before I cut it off completely).  I'm trying to decide what to do for bedtime in the future.  Right now it's jammies/lotion/diaper, nurse, storytime, and then bed.  When I get rid of the nursing should I replace it with a bottle?  Or should I just skip that part and go right to storytime?  Right now she gets a bottle - about 6 oz - around 5:30/5:45, eats dinner with us around 6/6:30 (typically 3ish oz. of pureed food or finger foods of whatever we're eating) and then we start bedtime at 7.  So she's eating a lot leading up to bedtime - I know she gets milk when she nurses but it's probably more of a comfort thing.  And I know at SOME point babies/toddlers quite eating right before they go to sleep.  What do all of you do with bottles/bedtime? Thoughts/suggestions?

And I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers this evening - I know I'll be crying when I nurse her for the last time at bedtime tonight.

    Still do bottle at bedtime. He eats about oz at 5pm. Dinner at 530/6pm which is a full meal. Then he still eats about 6-7 oz of BM in a bottle (EPer) at 730. They cluster feed at night. I'd be worried he'd wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

    J eats about 5-7 oz around 4:30-5, eats solids around 6:30 and then takes another 7 oz or so at 7:30 before bed.

    We do a bottle right before bed, but B is starting to seem less interested in it.  The interesting thing about it is that his disinterest is coinciding with him starting to sttn.  Not sure how related the two are, but I still offer the bottle just in case he wants it.
