Cross between a sippy cup and a bottle??

My 8 month old has suspected CMPA and has been prescribed hydrolysed formula from the GP. The problem is that he HATES it! He’s always happily taken a bottle before (alongside me breast feeding) but now basically cries at the sight of his bottle 😩 The gp has given us a different formula to try but I also thought that maybe putting it in a cup might help, as he doesn’t have the nice formula association with that.
We’ve tried various sippy cups for water and he’s not really got the hang of any of them yet. He can’t quite make the right sucking motion on ones with a valve and ones without seem to end up with the water just coming straight back out again. Can anyone recommend one? Is there something that’s quite close to being a bottle, with the same sucking motion? I really need to start getting more formula in him soon as I go back to work soon as he’s feeding round the clock due to my rubbish supply!

How about this Nuk one? We really liked it.

Thank you - I’ve not seen that one before. We have tried a different nuk one but ours doesn’t have a see through teat and I think it’s quite hard in his mouth. Is it quite easy to suck? We have a nuby valve cup and even I find it hard to get the water out! That one seems to be a wider flow though so might be better.

We’ve tried that one @rosydreams Even I found it hard to get water out if it! Maybe me and DS both just suck weirdly!

The only sippy cup my dd will use is the Avent SCF553/15. You can get it with handles or without.
