i suggest cutting it down to only when he goes to bed, it seems like its comforting for him

Oh I think if it helps him (and you) both get a good night sleep, what is the harm. He is only getting it once a day. Some Mothers still give dummies at this age so a bottle is no problems, and he has a nice full tummy for sleep time.

I took it away from my kids at about two years… do it gradually, give him his cup more often until you’re down to one bottle a day (before bed was my choice) and then it hopefully will be easier to get him off that last bottle.

He will part with his bot when he is ready so I would not worry as he also uses a cup

I think with the added issuse of his autism I really wouldn’t push it with him, maybe just try to keep it to bedtimes only and then only give it to him if he asks for it.
Good luck xx
