*I haven't read any of the other comments so forgive me if I'm repeating something here*
From an objective standpoint, I see two things:
1: She's backtracking a little bit with the need for a bottle. It's probably due to feeling emotional and a little insecure due to some recent change in her environment or her family's life and the whole things will disappear in a couple weeks with patient love and gentle encouragement of the "big girl" activities she normally does.
2: The standing up and insistence on milk sounds suspiciously like bouts of acid reflux we've dealt with. When Caleb's reflux med doseage needed adjusting, the big clue was that he didn't want to lay down to sleep because he'd get a surge of acid in his throat that was painful. He'd also refuse to go to sleep without nursing first because the fats in the milk offered his throat some protection from the acids he was experiencing. Any chance you can get a doctor to take a look and see if Punk is having reflux problems again? For the short term, to test out the theory you can try putting her in a bouncy or something that allows her to fall asleep in an upright position.
