Moving from breast to cup/bottle

I am going back to work in 6 weeks and need to get my 9 month old dd taking her 2 day time feeds from a cup/ bottle.

I can't seem to express much so realistically its a hydrolysed formula. DD2 is happy to take an once or two from a cup with a snack but seems to think this is in addition to a breastfeed not instead of.

I'm sure she enjoys the closeness and comfort of bf (as do I- sniff and doesn't take a huge amount of milk.

I plan to keep on with morning and bedtime breastfeeds.

How do I deal with getting her onto the bottle/ cup for the two day time feeds?

Any help gratefully received. I would prefer to be gentle but I do need to go back to work as dh been made redundant.

sorry I shold explain she is allergic to dairy - hence the hydrolysed formula (foul stuff it is but she will happily have it on weetabix and on its own)
