As such milk in excess is always harmful at this age. So far as teeth are concerned if they are cleaned properly after giving milk there is no harm at all.

Fisrtly,why would one give milk to a three year old child in the MIDDLE of the night? Then,if you are feeding with a bottle then it is definitely harmful not only to the teeth but generally also.Finally to give a glass of milk at night {before sleeping} won't do any harm to his teeth.
