Any under 1s drinking all formula from a cup / straw instead of bottle?

Hiya,
I'm desperate to give up breastfeeding. I hate it. I've been giving my daughter kendamil in a MAM bottle since 4 months (now 7 months). She often refuses bottle or takes incredibly small amounts (30ml/1oz) before refusing even though she's clearly hungry (will take breast and it's 4 hours since last feed). I've tried every teat and bottle going! She won't drink any other formula except kendamil.
She's keen on a sippy cup but her technique is poor at the moment. My older DD was like this and started loving formula in a straw cup at 11 months but 7 month old not currently good with straw yet. Anyone have a child who only drinks formula from a cup other than a teated bottle? Any recommendations for good sippy cups for bottle refusers? Thanks!

Have you tried a 360 cup?
they do the sippy action but it with handles it will be easy to hold and no spillage.
