Swapping to cup

DD is 7mo and just not having it with the bottle only wants boob. She'll drink water from a cup but spits out milk from the same cup.

Should I try different formulas? I'm reluctant to as so expensive. I've only tried aptamil so far.

Or maybe a diffwrwnt cup. She's just got a standard sippy cup at the moment. Maybe a straw one?

Would love some tips!

I had exact same problem. My lo would have water from sippy cup but not milk, not even mine! I bought all sorts of cups but gave up in the end, eventually around 9 months I started again offering it with no pressure in morning and night so he'd be confident with it when I gave up bf at 12 months. it did take a few weeks and I did have to hide in the bedroom so he wasn't tempted to come to me for his feed but we got there in the end. Sorry not much help!
