I have the solution!!! Ive breast fed all three of my children. The first born around a year only breast fed at night to get herslef to sleep. Then contiuned this till about fifteen months. When one night she fell asleep and dint ask for it. So the next night we did the same thing and when she asked i said your a big girl now and that was it. Pretty much simple. My second child loved food. She pretty much wouldnt take the breast after a while. She weened herself at about a year and just never looked back, so i dint offer either. Now my third son i just weened four days ago. He lasted the longest 16 months. One night he fell alseep and dint ask for it, so that was it for him too. I think the trick is...not to wait too long, ive heard some people go as far as 2 or 3 years of age. But right around a year and half seemed best for me. try using a sippy cup with a straw. Kids around eight months old can drink from a straw easily. Do this while only breast feeding at night interducing more foods. Give her one more month to get used to the idea, and if a night goes by when she doesnt ask for it anymore. CUT her off. When they ask for it...offer something else, even playing till they are too tired to sit up works, this keeps theyre mind off the normal ruiteen and offeres a night without it.
