cup or bottle feed

My 2month old baby is fully breastfed via direct latching. I will be returning to work after my ML. I am thinking if I should introduce bottle or cup feeding to baby. Anyone skips bottle feedband goes direct to cup feed so that baby does not need to wean off bottle? Any pros or cons?

bottle. at this age babies do not know how to drink from a cup, they just lap it up like a kitten n that will take super long considering the amount. not to mention, there’s a risk of choking if the caregiver does not know how to cup feed properly. when my lo first came home i also tried opting to cup feeding when my supply was low n need to topup, just 40ml of formula took me 1hour to get lo to finish it n it was super scary she almost choke few times even tho i was going really slow, end up i just used syringe for a day then completely switched to bottle.
