How to give up BFing in the nicest way possible?

[Mckayz]

DD was 1 a couple of weeks ago. She hardly feeds during the day now and is happy with a cup with some milk. She does still feed quite a lot at night and isn't good at getting to sleep on her own. She usually feeds to sleep. So I need to work on that before I do stop feeding.

But how do I go about it? If I don't feed her straight away when she asks she gets grumpy. I would like there to be a way to stop while causing her minimal upset. Though I doubt that is possible.

Thanks.

Watching with interest as I have an 8 mo ds and I would like to stop soon too. Ds1 was 1 when I stopped with him and I just told him its all gone. After a couple of days fuss, he seemed ok with that so he just moved onto cows milk. Don't think it will be that easy this time!

No Cry Sleep Solution has lots of suggestions for breaking a feed-to-sleep association, and as the name suggests, the author generally writes about fairly gentle methods.

I decided to try the 'don't offer, don't refuse' technique when DD2 was that age... she has just turned 3 and still has bedtime 'milky'! I've given up even trying...
