Best transition cup for bottle fed baby?

Hi all,
since weaning, my 8 month old’s daytime milk intake has drastically reduced. He likes his foods but doesn’t eat huge amounts and generally is quite a small baby. Our health visitor said it’s fine as some babies drop day feeds earlier than others but I’m a bit worried he won’t be getting what he needs so she recommended trying to give his formula in a sippy cup rather than a bottle (and to give a multi vit which we’ll start from now).

Just wondered if anyone else experienced similar and has tried this and can recommend which cup to use? We use a basic Tommee Tippee sippy cup for water at mealtimes. He has gone from 7oz bottles 4x a day to barely taking 3oz at a time. I think he is hungry still as he’s generally quite ratty in the afternoons in particular and now waking more overnight so keen to try it and see if he prefers it. Any other advice welcome!

Can you add more milk to his food? Eg Weetabix with whole milk for breakfast (or one of the branded baby porridges that come with the formula mixed in)? No reason why baby can't have porridge at bed time, they don't know it's a breakfast food.

My nine month old is still on 3*6oz (which we will gradually reduce next month) plus whole milk in some food.
