I know I'm not helping by saying this but he sounds like he is getting more milk than my 22 month old. She has her milk 3 times a day - 4 oz each time and doesn't even finish them. Last night, she drank half... this morning she also only drank half.....I don't know about this afternoon, I have to ask my helper.
In the past she was a difficult feeder and whenever I tried to feed, she'd just play with the teat. Now that she's older, she just tells me flat out, "No no", returning the bottle to me :-)

Have you tried switching the brand of formula? Apparently they can get bored. Sometimes switching to another brand gets them more interested. Not sure when you are starting dairy but yoghurts and cheese are also great boosters for smaller milk drinkers.

Oh that's not so easy then. How about a little bit of papaya or some other fruit that goes good with milk in one of the feeds?
