1 yr old teething - won't drink milk

My little boy is cutting teeth, he already has his 2 bottle ones and last few days 2 at the top are cutting and just today another at the bottom. He hasn't been taking his bottles for over a week now. He went off food but has recently started eating well. I've tried every beaker/bottle/cup going! Anyone have any advice ? I'm worried he will get dehydrated. Already been docs with him they said 'it's teething' 🙄🥴

2-3 portions of dairy would give the same calcium as the milk he isn't taking e.g. Cereal with milk, cheese, yoghurt, etc

does he take water?

We have realised it's not the teeth that's the issue, it's because we've changed him from formula to cows milk & he doesn't like the taste (apparently it's common) so after doing some research we tried putting nesquick choc flavour in the milk & now he's drinking it fine. I only used chocolate as that's what we had in but obv don't want to continue giving him this. Does anyone know a healthier alternative I could flavour the milk with pls x

I wouldn't have flavoured the milk. You could have mixed small amounts of cows milk in with the formula and gradually increased the proportion of cows milk. I would gradually decrease the amount of nesquik you are adding until its just milk
