[quote=Anonymous]Agreed with PPs, that's really cruel.  Jack Newman's website and KellyMom both offer advice on how to gently wean a toddler.  Summariing a few tips
1. Drop one nursing session at a time, starting with the least important and saving the most valued one for last.
2. Decrease the time of that session incrementally.  Give him a countdown "No more nurse when we reach one [count down from 10]..... bye bye nurse."  He may still cry but will slowly begin to understand.  You can literally decrease it to 3-5seconds before just eliminating that session.
3. Make sure you do offer lots of cuddles, fun and other ways to bond and spend time together.
4. If there's a favorite "nursing spot", try to avoid it during times that you usually nurse.
5. It sounds stupid, but don't walk naked around your LO for a while.  When I get out of the shower my 19mo old begins to shout "nurse! nurse!"  Getting my bra on quickly helps that.

Good luck.
