Stopping bf

How the bloody hell do I do it??
I feel really dense for asking. This is child number 5. I bf them all. I weaned them all.
This one really like bf. She gets quite violent with me when I try and distract her or delay her. She is 17 months old so knows her own mind!
She is currently fed off both sides in the morning, before and after breakfast and both sides in the evening, once after tea and before bed. Nothing through the day and nothing through the night.
I just can't seem to drop these last feeds. The longest I went with any of the others was my twins and they stopped at 16 months. Cannot for the life of me remember how I did it.
She will not drink formula, she will not drink cows milk, she will not drink milkshake. Doesn't matter what it is put in, bottle or sippy cup or non spill or God knows what else we've tried.
I had thrush in my boob for the last fortnight for the first time ever and I'm ready now to have them back to myself. I'd really like to start wearing pretty bras again. I've been on maternity or nursing bras for the last 8 years and I think it's time to reintroduce the underwire.

Any tips? Anybody had a super keen that you managed to wean without too much upset?

No tips, but following. My ds is 20mo. Bfs multiple times in the day, and in the night too if I can't settle him when he wakes. He also doesn't like any other form of milk. Sad

I'd like to stop her cold turkey but she gets really miserable and then sits on my lap smacking my chest with both hands
