Milk
Milk often belongs with breakfast and snacks, and temperature and texture decide whether it is drunk. A clear picture makes the drink recognisable on the menu. See the motif below.

About this visual support
Milk is, for many children, an obvious part of breakfast and snacks, but also a drink where small details matter a lot. The temperature, whether a skin forms, whether the glass is full or half, all of that can decide whether the milk is drunk with joy or left untouched. For a child with sensitive senses, this is not fussiness but real differences.
Visual support makes the milk predictable by giving it a fixed place in the meal. When it exists as a picture on the menu, the child knows it is coming, and a drink that is known feels safer than one that appears without warning. The picture can also become a simple reminder to drink something with the food, without anyone having to say it each time.
A tip: keep the milk the same, the same temperature and the same kind of glass, so the child knows what they get. Predictability in the small things makes the meal calmer. In the Routined app you can add the milk as part of breakfast or a snack, so it gets its natural place in the day's rhythm.
