Angus wouldn't take EBM from a bottle at all. Not ever, so I understand your angst! I went back to tafe one day a week when he was 6 months old and he would last the entire 6 hours I was gone without a drink so I'd be ready for loads of feeding when I came home. I was really quite full anyway so he did get a huge drink to make up for it. I don't recall there being wakeful nights and he never got dehydrated.
He did start on a straw cup by accident because I caught him stealing a drink out of his brothers when it was left on the floor. I can't remember what age but I do remember he wasn't crawling so before 8 months. I think it had to do more with him mimicking his brother than my idea so maybe you could try getting one the same as Mr Mischief and see what happens! One I noticed with mine is that they copy the older ones and do things a lot younger than your first did so there is a good chance that yours will do the same.
