Unhappy Moving from teat bottle to training cup

After much procrastination, I finally bit the bullet four days ago and switched my 2-year old son's milk bottles to the Avent training cups for all three milk feeds. Unsurprisingly, there was much resistance but we found he could do it as the first night, we gave him sufficient incentive to finish the milk at bedtime. Now, instead of doing 18oz a day, we'd be lucky if he does 12oz. Does anyone have tips to get the child to switch to cups? I don't want this to turn into a battle ground. Is it OK if the milk consumption goes down dramatically? I thought that by drinking less milk, my son would make up for the less fluids by drinking more water but he has not.

Worried mum.....
