Tips for weaning a nearly-2yr old off the breast ??

I'm still bf my dd (23mths) several times a day (morning, night, naps and if she generally wants 'comfort' in the day)- she actually comes up and asks for it now! I want to stop now, but she is keener than ever - if I offer her a cup with milk in, she gets angry and bats it away.
I don't want to traumatise her by taking away something she gets such comfort from, but I really think 2yrs is enough lol!
Anyone been through this?

I'm also struggling a bit as she comes up and really wants the boob. If i refuse er she gets really upset until i feed her (i once fed her twice only morning and night and she was miseerable throughout the day).
I think you just need to cut one feed out every few days or one a week if you want to go slwoer, and distract her as much as you can with new games, going out for the day etc. I'm going to cut out her middle feed in the next coupe of days (fingers crossed).
good luck and let us know how it goes xxxxx
Maybe you could try that, then just don't go to that specific place unless feedin her - then you can avoid the place and she won't think about a feed...? It's worked for us anyway, but then my daughter's a lot younger so not so smart! xxx
I am going to attempt to get down to 3 feeds daily this week - morning, lunch time and night, with no sneaky feeds in between, then I think next week we will tackle the lunchtime one and see how that goes.
Tilly it's funny because she takes my hand and leads me to the sofa when she wants it, and if I refuse, she will point to the laptop because I go on BE when I'm bf!
