Stopping breast feeding

How do I go about stopping bf my 18 month old? We successfully dropped feeds when I went back to work at 12 months and then dropped night feeds shortly after. He still feeds to sleep and I do not know how to crack it. He has a snack and some cows milk before getting ready for bed, so I know he isn't hungry but he still wants to bf. I am not even sure I am producing milk any more. Any attempts to put him to bed without it results in tears.

Watching with interest! My 15 month old still bf at bedtime and after a series of colds his recently improved sleep is terrible again and he wakes wanting to bf a lot. Feel weary and want to wind it down but hate him being miserable and it's all he wants at these times.
