Weaning an 18 month old from breastfeeding

My youngest is 18 months old and I'm thinking about weaning her from breastfeeding soon. Problem is, she's quite attached to it.

Does anyone have an advice on how to go about it please? My eldest wasn't fussed by being weaned and it was done and dusted in about 3 weeks.

I thought about splitting it onto

  1. Day feeds
  2. Night feeds
  3. Bedtime feeds

which is what I did with my eldest and it seemed to work.

She has CMPA and won't drink alternative milks yet, so subs for night drinks are water. Plus I'd be concerned about teeth.

She's too young to be consulted but old enough to feel aggrieved Grin
