DS has been constantly ill for over year resulting in loads bloods tests some are still to come back, pediatrician said he has on overreacting immune system, at this stage not sure what it's connecting with, his weight is ok and he's a tall boy, each day his food intake varies depending on how ill he is, but he's still looking for milk during the night, he doesn't get a bottle at all, milk in a beaker, sometimes drinks a cup during the day but I just can't get him off it during the night, any suggestions what to do, he doesn't get milk to bed, he asks for water before going to sleep, from 1am-4am he looks for milk

Given he's ill the milk is probably about comfort and reassurance. There is also the possibility of him being hungry it thirsty, if he is not eating or drinking much.

How about filling a beaker with milk and leaving it in his cot to help himself to?
