What is a relatively calm way to stop breastfeeding?

I also nursed both of my girls past the age of two and weaning really wasn't that difficult. I just weaned my youngest 6 months ago, and it took all of 3 days. Here is what we did...during the day when she was only with me I just gave her a cup of juice or milk in place of nursing. I would still let her sit in my lap to fall asleep for her nap, I just wouldn't let her nurse. I told her that the "booies" were closed and didn't work anymore. At night was a little harder, so my husband started putting her to bed since she didn't expect that from him. He would take her up and brush her teeth and then sit next to her bed, it is a toddler bed so it is close to the ground, and rub her back until she fell asleep. He still puts her down for the night and now it takes about 5 or 10 minutes and that is it. She doesn't wake up again until the next morning between 6:30 and 7. Hope that helps.

If Dad can get her to sleep that will be easier than you doing it without breastfeeding.

There are many ways to wean. But you need to accept that anything that is stress free for the both of you won't be instantanious. The easiest way of breastfeeding is don't offer, don't refuse but this can take a long time.

Here is some other great info on weaning by different methods:

Theres tons of resources out there.

Obviously, you can't sleep next to her if you want to wean her. You'll also be making her intake more scheduled, unless you want to get up at night to feed her a bottle. No 2 year old should need this.

So there are 2 issues- weaning and scheduling/ sleeping thru the night.

as a mother of 3 adult children i got a pill to dry me up or get dr. to put you in a binder this will dry up your breasts put cold cloths on the breasts to stop pain and engroging filling with milk as your child will cry try not to give her your breast at all she might

turn to sucking on her thumb but this is temporary.

Try keeping your bra on.
