Any advice on stopping breastfeeding

[Poll37]

Does anyone have any advice on how to stop breastfeeding?
My dd is now 16 months old and has been EBF since birth. I have tried to cut out feeds several times, this ends in endless crying which drives me to give in as a sign of guilt, I know this is not helping but is there any easier solution?
She has 3 meals a day including snacks so there is no need for the amount she takes, I believe it’s mostly for comfort rather than hunger. As some times she’ll come over for seconds/minutes at a time within 20 minutes it’ll be round two some days this goes on all day. Other days it’ll be 4 feeds a day, so I know it’s definitely not hunger. She will drink juice/water but sips and very little and also still wakes at least 2/3 times throughout the night to feed.
I wouldn’t be in a rush to stop but I’m constantly tired with the amount she’s feeding and my eyesight has changed twice since September, gradually getting worse as well as changing through my pregnancy. (Which I know can be common).

Drop the mornings first. distract, go out get a new drink for her to try and some good little snacks. Once you start though don't give in, its not fair and confusing for them.

I think you just have to be firm. The night time ones are totally habit. Wearing them out helps so that the first wake up you stand a better chance of them just dropping back off. Do you co-sleep?

Thanks,
I have tried replacing with snacks, drinks before she will just cry.
She’s still feeding every 2/3 hours as a newborn genuinely would which is draining and far too much for her age but it’s little but often.
She’s put into her cot after bedtime feed this is 6:30/7pm, when waking for a feed around 12/1 she often stays in bed and co sleeps as she settles better this way

If your eyesight is deteriorating, that's not a BFing thing, I think you need to see your Optician for a check pretty soon so that they can check what's going on.

As for dropping feeds, do you think if you night weaned it might help you to feel more rested before you tackle the daytime feeding?

I seen the optician in September and again in October, I was told breastfeeding along with pregnancies can have a impact on your eyesight.
I had thought about that I just don’t know how to start, I was told by my health visitor morning time feeds first are easier to accept, but it’s just something that dd isn’t accepting

I had thought about that I just don’t know how to start, have a read of the link I posted and see if it sounds like something that might work for you

I struggled to stop and tried giving a smoothie (fruit) instead in the morning as DS wouldn't take anything I tried instead like cows milk/ milkshake or hot chocolate. It didn't really work. With snacks he would happily have a biscuit and then want a feed.

I did switch to don't offer, don't refuse from about 18 months and I avoided the habit times I'd feed ( like when he woke up from a nap or when I was tired and just wanted 5 minutes on my phone) Avoid that chair also, sit somewhere different. Or say in 5 minutes and see if they ask again or forget.

In the end I carried on until 2 years. I then tried again to reduce to morning and night, but it wasn't working, he kept asking. I then decided just to stop. I said this is the last feed the day he turned 2 and 1 month old and I stopped. He asked the next day once and cried when I said no. But I just said it was finished and we had cuddles and books instead. He was absolutely fine with it and life moved on. He didn't suddenly get sick or loose lots of weight. He did eat much more of his meals though. I'm not going to lie is was agony to just stop cold turkey, boobs like rocks, had to hand express a bit and pump a little off. Took painkillers and it took about 2 weeks to get through it.

I have a 1 year old now and will probably approach it the same.
