Is it okay to still be having milk in bottles 3 times a day?

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any good reasons why my girls (28 month old twins) shouldn't still be having milk in bottles? If anyone can direct me to any articles etc on this I'd really appreciate it. They currently still have a 4oz bottle every morning when they wake up, again after their afternoon nap and before bed in the evening (but never in bed, they finish it before they get into bed) - they drink water out of sippy cups, from a straw and straight from a beaker so it's not like they haven't learned to drink other than from a bottle, but milk has always just been in the bottle and we've kept it that way mainly because it's easier - it can be prepared and left in advance, e.g. while they are sleeping and is ready when they wake up. SO what I'm wondering is, are there any compelling reasons not to do this????

Well, i cant give any articles but i go to an EDIS group. Early Intervention services for development delays ( they are still considered behind in language lol.....though i think its more due to them being twins hehe ). We had a few different sippy cups. When i was in group one day one of the ladies asked me if they are using the ones with straws but drinking out of normal cups too. I said they mainly drink out of cups. But other then that we use ones with straws. Her concern was with the whole sucking motion could cause deformaty of the teeth. So i hope this will help you in your decision.
