Stopping the night waking

My 2yr old boy co-sleeps and still wakes up looking for my breast several times a night. I let him feed and fall back to sleep. How can I break this cycle, stop the night feeds and get him to sleep through in his own bed?

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think you just need to go gradually ‘cold Turkey’.
Start with letting him sleep in his own bed, if he cries during the night, go to his room and nurse him if necessary. The next step would be to go to his room if he cries but not offer him your breast, just a cup of water in case he’s thirsty.
