We had cut down BF to just when I put her down for her nap at work (with
her
on my lap) and at home (whenever she felt like it and to go to sleep).

I started to wean at two, by cutting out all those "comfort" feeds, using
cuddles and distraction instead. DD was only allowed to feed at nap time and
bedtime. She dropped the nap herself, so that feed stopped. Then, finally, I
asked if she would rather have a story and a cuddle instead of a feed at
bedtime, and she said yes. It took a month, maybe two, but was very gentle
and allowed dd to think she was making the 'decisions', rather than me
refusing her.
Good luck,
Donna
