How much milk are you giving them? Split into how many feeds? If they have full bellies most of the time, they'll be less inclined to mooch on at other options!
When you see them eating a lot of creep reduce the milk as you can give them bloat. I try to spread their feeds a little more each time so they will go to creep to fill up eventually you can cut a milk feed out, then reduce the milk some water it down some like me just cut it out altogether.
