Any tricks or suggestions for switching to milk?

Hello Ladies!

I am having the worst time switching from formula to whole milk. I have tried halving it and it was a disaster. I even tried the toddler formula and that was a waste too. I am at my wits end.. One will take it, but the other will just spit it out and then it becomes a game between the 2.
