    You can try to gradually cut down on the time that you let her feed overnight for. So rather than waiting for her to fall off completely asleep, monitor her sucking a little closer and gently remove her a minute or so earlier. This is a pretty gradual way and might take a while.

    Does she have a blankee or cuddly toy that she takes to bed with her? You might need to replace your breast with something she can self settle with overnight.

    ETA - If you are ok with feeding her to sleep at other times then maybe leave that alone and just see how you go with weaning her overnight?
