Apple juice is the way forward and make sure you've got plain and not lemon or some such as they are disgusting.

Because he's too young or he doesnt drink anything else? I think it would be pretty disgusting in milk but you could give it a go.

You need to drink more fluids generally with them as well.

I'ld mix it up in a bit of water, then add the warm milk on top iyswim.

I used to add squash. Something fairly strong like blackcurrant.

He has some sn and so only drinks those two things...he is 8 and its all he has ever drunk!!

Might try and get him to drink it straight with a straw maybe? I seem to remember is doesnt taste too bad?

Sorry I know this is a week late but only just seen this. My dd has had movicol in milk since the age of 15 months without problem (she is now 5).
