My child who has just turned 6 and is ASD non verbal still has baby bottles with formula milk several times a day, my child is a good eater in general varied diet we offer other drinks like water and juice but every time it always comes back to bottle of milk, tried lots of strategies but meltdowns are horrific when attempts are made, any advice please is welcome I feel like I’m the only person going through this

I wonder whether your GP could refer you to one of the Paediatric Dietitians at the hospital, OP.

Is the formula the only fluid DS will drink?

Will he drink formula out of a cup or sports bottle?

Does DS show any sensory difficulties?
