Hi Linda
I don't think you will find what you are looking for.  I would be inclined
to inform the mother that formula milk (and I am assuming she is using
either a follow-on formula or a toddler formula - sometimes called a Step 3
milk/formula) IS cow's milk.  It is usually fortified with various nutrients
(with questionable bio-availability) and non-nutritive substance and often
highly sweetened, if not with cane-sugar or corn syrup then with maltose and
dextrose.  It is also hideously expensive in comparison to fresh cow's milk.
I would suggest that mum begin to dilute the (prepared) formula milk with
fresh cow's milk on perhaps a 1:4 ratio to begin with.  Then, assuming this
is accepted by her child for a week or so, increase the concentration of
cow's milk to a 1:2 ratio, then 3:4 and 1:1, 4:3, 2:1, 4:1 until the child
is accepting cow's milk.
That said, fresh cow's milk is not a necessary part of a child's diet at any
age.  It can be replaced with cheese, yoghurt or other calcium rich foods
and the child offered water instead of milk if he must have bottles.
Cheers
