The only canonical way of saying this is

mi sisku leka ce'u mleca da leni ce'u kargu

(where da has already been mentioned as your comparandum)

This will acceptably reduce to

mi sisku leka ce'u kargu mleca

and *probably* to

mi sisku leka kargu mleca

Though particularly if you're writing for paedagogical purposes, I'd keep
the ce'u in (because the ce'u is what you are looking for.)
