Picky toddler?

Question

What can I do? My almost 2 year old doesn't drink any form of milk besides breast milk. I've tried almond milk, regular milk, chocolate milk, flavor milk straws, sugar in her milk(my dad suggested that one) also she only ever wants to eat junk food now because her grandparents   Give it to her often. She's barley eating anything outside of mac&chz; and frozen French toast sticks. I try and give her fruit and veggies and she just plays with it, Spits it, throws it, squeezes it! Help please! I really want to balance her diet.

Answer

My son doesn't drink milk either. He does eat a lot of cheese and yogurt though. I would talk to her pediatrician and see if there is anything you can supplement to help her get her Vitamin D. My pediatrician wasn't too concerned because my son eats pretty healthy and gets his Vitamin D from other foods.
As far as your parents and the junk food you're going to have to talk with them because she isn't benefiting from excess sugar, especially when it's not balanced with healthier foods. I'm not saying it's too late, but its going to be harder to balance out her diet because now she's used to all the junk. I would take all the junk out of her sight so she can't see it, or replace it with cookies, but the healthy versions. I know they have cookies with veggies in them. I know they also make lollipops with no sugar, so maybe if she eats all her food let her have one. 
It's going to take some persistence, but I think you'll end up fine. Good Lick

Answer

Only give her what she's supposed to have and if she's hungry enough shell eat it. Also id talk to the grandparents about that because thats not right. 
We sit my son in his highchair until he eats it all but we don't feed him until he starts getting upset that he's hungry.
When you give her food give her milk any type and if shes thirsty enough shell drink it. 
In between meals give her snacks they have little baby chips and water. 
Water during snack time makes her more hungry to eat the solids when you feed her instead of milk that fills her up. 
Its a hard process but when you give in and give it to them anyways that just messes them up. Stick to a schedule and they will grow with it and they will eat what they need to.

Answer

I make smoothies for by 2 year old. She had no idea spinach or Swiss chard is in them 😂
Spinach muffins are also yummy.
I make 2 ingredient banana pancakes and put some ground almonds in them.
I make yogurt parfait with seeds and fruit. 
Quinoa pizza crust is yummy.
Homemade goldfish crackers are a lot of work but a healthy snack.
Pinterest has a lot of ideas for picky eaters and how to get veggies into toddlers.

Answer

My 7 year old doesn't drink milk either. He self weaned from breastfeeding at 15 months and was never really a milk drinker after that. Now that he's bigger, he'd occasionally want some milky tea as he call it but he never drinks more than half a teacup.
He does eat yogurt and cheese though + you can get calcium from other sources.
The junk food is difficult to control at this age and I try not to be too strict (I see kids with very strict parents trying to sneak candy and they can be out of control once they are away from their parents). He knows that he can get a treat after a proper meal. I know they say you're not supposed to use these things as rewards but it works for us. When someone gives him lots of junk. He asks if he can pick one to have after his dinner if he eats properly and I usually say yes.
