Hi

Please no judgements already feel like am hanging on by a thread.

5yr old ds, non verbal asd will only drink from a specific coloured baby bottle. Cupboards are full of different types of water bottles cups etc even ones ds has picked out himself. He just will not give up that bottle.

Any other parent out there experienced the same and what have you tried and tested.
TIA

No advice but my 5 year old daughter who were assessing for ADHD still has milk in a bottle and Will not budge off this. It's the bottle she likes not the content. So no judgement from me. Her teeth are grand thankfully. Could you try going shopping with him to pick out an alternative cup? That said, we tried this with DD and it was a flat no. You're not alone!

Hi
Thanks for reply. He has picked one out himself, but when we got home with it and he realised it had a straw he rejected it.

Do you need some more of that they're of bottle? Could you contact the manufacturer? My DCousin has a DS who would only drink from one bottle, they set up a FB page trying to locate more and in the end the manufacturer saw it and sent them 100, they had a lot of old stock apparently Wink
