Alternate to bottle feeding

DS is 8 months now, BF and has consistently rejected the bottle. As I get ready to join back work (hopefully not for another 2 months), I want to know if anyone had luck with feeding their babies with anything else but bottle (sippy cup, normal glass, etc). He does take water from the sippy cup, but its mostly small quantities and with a lot of spill. My only concern is the quantity, as to me large quantities of milk does not seem practical with sippy cups. I am hoping that with practise it does get better, but he might be too young for it. Anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks ladies, I will give munchkin bottles a shot. Can't help thinking it would have been so much easier if DS took to bottle :(. I have so many different types of bottles, teats, sippy cups, doidy cup, etc. that I can give any baby shop a run for their money :(

Second the Munchkin straw bottles. DD hated sippy cups and only used these.

you could try the bottles with the built in straw, (the munchkin ones are good) you can take the bottom straw part off while they get used to the idea of sucking from it. You can also mix a lot of the milk into his food so he gets it that way.
