My ds was only bf for a few weeks, but it still took ages to get him to take water from a bottle, cup or beaker, even though he was used to the bottle. I think it just takes them a while to get used to the new taste, when all they have had is milk for such a long time.
I would just persevere with it, maybe with a bottle if you're hoping to introduce it during the day. We used Tommee tippee when changing from breast to bottle.
We also found the doidy cup good-although messy to begin with! You can find it easily on internet. Good luck! xxx
