Anyone used a doidy cup instead of a bottle?

My DD is 16 weeks and is excl bf. I've tried a few times to get her to take a bottle of breast milk, but she hasn't taken to it at all. I haven't persisted as not returning to work for another 3 months so figured I had some time. But someone gave me a doidy cup for xmas and reading their info, made me wonder if I need the bottle at all...? Has anyone used these with good effect? I've tried a bit and she takes about an ounce of EBM (very slowly, but without distress) - can she go straight from breast to cup??? It seems too good to be true - so surely it must be Anyone else tried a doidy? What do you reckon?

My DD is now 2.1. She has never had a bottle and went straight to doidy cup and now normal cups. She also uses straws and sports bottles.
I was at home so didn't have to worry about large quantities of milk but I would definitely say that based on my experience it's worth a shot.

Yes, DC now 16 mths has never drunk from a bottle either.
At about 6 mths old DH and I were promised a weekend to ourselves. The 2 weeks prior I must've spent in excess of £20 on bottles and teats, all refused.
Bought a Doidy from Amazon and that was that, drunk straight away, not all of it but the point was she did not refuse or hesitate.
