Did anyone find that their LO slept better when they stopped breast feeding?

My dd is 7 months and I am beginning to gradually stop breast feeding for several reasons. One thing I would be interested to know is the effect it may have on her (horrendous) sleep. I'm guessing everyone's different but I'd be gutted if all my milk dried up too quickly- not ready to give up snuggly 5 am breast feeds! Thanks

I stopped dc 1 and 2 around this age- first one this definitely coincided with dropping night feed and sleeping through, although looking back dc1 was pretty easy sleeper- from 8 mo never looked back. Dc 2 I tried introducing formula at 7 months as I was desperate for him to sleep better... Made sod all difference!!! For me unfortunately mixed feeding didn't work and my milk dried up, but I know lots of women who have managed it so fingers crossed you can do both. Ds 3 fwiw 15 mo, still bf and not sleeping aaahgh!
