The sure-fire way to get her to drink it is keep giving it to her. Don't give her anymore formula at all and just keep putting regular milk in her cup/bottle. MAke sure to change the milk every 2-3 hours tho because if it is warm where ever you are the milk could sour and make her sick. So yeah eventually she will drink it and take to it if that is all she is being offered. It sometimes takes a little bit for them to get used to something new but eventually they get the taste for it and like it.

Don't stress if your baby won't drink cows milk.
If it's the calcium your concerned about, there are plenty of foods high in calcium.

It can take up to ten tries for a baby to learn to like a new taste. Just keep offering it to her everyday.
If you want to you can put a little milk in her formula and increase the milk amount everyday until there is no formula.

just keep giving it to her randomly especially when she is eating so she uses it to wash food down… my son got used to milk from always wanting to drink out of my cup so i would give him a sip

There's an easy way to get her to drink it but you may not like it!! Put some chocolate in with the milk (best kind is nesquick). Once she tastes it she will love it and then slowly wean out the chocolate untill pretty soon it's only milk. I was very hesitant as I like my son to eat very healthy and didn't want to load him down with chocolate but this has worked for every baby I know who was having problems drinking formula or milk.

Mix formula and cows milk together, more formula than cows milk in the beginning, then gradually reduce the formula and up the cows milk. Please don't go giving your child chocolate milk because it can stop calcium absorption and has more calories than a child needs. Leave the chocolate milk till after the 2nd birthday at least.
