Sippy cup help

Apologies,this may be a long one

I have a 10 month old baby boy who is ebf. Was taking 1 bottle of milk up until about 4 months ago before he started to completely refuse them after a viral illness.

I go back to work in one month and will be doing 13 hour shifts which could be day or night and I'm concerned as he doesn't take much from a sippy cup either. Any tips or advice for getting baby to take milk from either bottle or cup woukd be greatly received.

He has cows milk allergy so can't offer cows milk just yet.

Thank you ☺️

I had a sippy cup refuser and at 9 months I introduced a straw cup and she LOVED it! Have you tried a straw?

Who will he be with when you go back to work?

DS started nursery at 8 months and had never really accepted a bottle/sippy cup before then, but happily did from the first day at nursery. Babies are incredibly adaptable, so I'd try not to worry.

Thank you for the replies. I do actually have a straw cup which he knows how to use but doesn't like to. Same with a doidy cup.

I did a keep In touch days yesterday and he refused to have anything to drink. I hope he starts to take something by the time i go back properly.
