If you are giving whole milk in a cup he likes, aren't you already able to give cow's milk? Seems you have already achieved your objective.

Thats how much they are going to drink in the beginning. But with mine what i did was this. If she was drinking 5 ounces of BM (just example), I used to mix 1 ounce of whole milk with 4 ounces of breast milk and give it to her. Continue this was for 3 days. Then, increase the quantity of whole milk by another ounce and decrease BM by that amount. In about 3 weeks, they will completely shift to whole milk.
