My 2 year old stopped drinking milk after taking away the bottle


My daughter is 2 years 4 months old. She was still on the bottle for milk, she was fine drinking any other liquid from a cup. She also sucked her finger a lot. To the point where it blistered and her front tooth was crooked.I bought a finger guard that prevented her from sucking on her finger and put it on her for a month. Near the end, I realized she was still sucking her bottle and I was afraid she would still crave sucking so we stopped giving her the bottle too.The good thing was she stopped sucking her finger. The bad thing was she refused to drink milk from anything now. Even if we tried to give her the bottle w/ milk, she is completely over it. We tried chocolate milk, strawberry milk, sweetened vanilla soy milk, but nothing works. She just drinks apple juice, orange juice, or water now.We tried to give her yogurt and cheese, but I'm really sad she stopped drinking milk because she drank a lot of it (maybe 2-3 cups a day).I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what we can do from here.
