8.5 month baby not drinking milk

For mental health reasons I've decided to stop breastfeeding. My LG is 8.5 months and exclusively BF. She will drink water perfectly from a bottle/ straw cup/ open cup, but as soon as it's milk, she won't. I've tried slowly reducing her feeds but she just ends up not drinking and then feeding from me on the ones we haven't cut out yet. I really need to stop breastfeeding, but I'm so worried that she will just go nil by mouth on all milk. She is an incredible eater and really puts it away so I'm not worried she's hungry, but I am worried about the key nutrients she's missing out on. Does anyone have any advice? I'm at a loss

If they eat don't worry to much they can get their calcium from dairy products such as yogurt and cheese!
