Help! 18 months and won't stop Breastfeeding

[Little_Teapot]

Hi Ladies,

I'd love some advice. I am more often than not on my own with my little girl. She is lovely, sleeping well, eating solid food like a star and generally very happy and well-behaved with most of her teeth now.

The only problem I have is that she refuses to completely give up breast milk. She is the least content when I am in the room and she's trying to get inside my shirt and crying. I haven't minded feeding her til now as it isn't all the time and it doesn't hurt at all, but am beginning to think it might be time to stop.

HOW can i encourage her to give it up?

Will she happily drink cow's milk? Everytime she gets upset and tries to get to you maybe you could give her a small cup of milk and a cuddle instead so she still gets a drink without missing out on the closeness with you.
