I have never heard of mixing formula and milk -- particularly
not soybean formula -- 

Two of my three children, the first and the last were on
soybean formula's until they were nine months old, then
their doctor said I could try giving them milk -- prior to
this time however, they had milk products, cheese, ice cream,
etc. just to make sure they were not milk allergic -- 
i tended to warm the milk a little, just to take the cold 
edge off of it before giving it to them, much as I did with
formula --

I tried giving them milk at meal times at first, rather than 
formula with their food -- gradual introduction worked well,
because according to many responses I've heard, milk tastes better
than formula -- also, I never relied too much on milk for the 
children -- the two on soybean formula tended (and still to this 
day, one is 10 and one is 3) not to care much for milk, so I
pushed milk products, putting milk on their cereal, and things like
that rather than forcing them to drink it -- I did make sure they
were getting the needed vitamins, etc from other food so milk 
was not an absolute necessity -- 

Try gradually daily giving him milk, maybe on his favorite 
hot/cold cereal or mix it with scrambled egg -- it may be
he'll be one of those people who don't like to drink milk --
