Hun, when you say it's hard, is it because she won't drink other milk, or because she really wants the breast? Once she hits 12 months which doesn't sound far off, there is no need to replace breast feeds with other milk so that might be easier for you. If you are not replacing breastmilk with other milk (which many mums don't), you can still make sure she has enough calcium from the solids - obviously dairy products like cheese and yoghurt, and also there are lots of other foods that are high in calcium - this list might give you some ideas - Vegetarian Network Victoria - Complete Nutrient Summary.

As the others have said, it is best to drop one feed at a time, with at least a week in between where possible. This is not only easier on your little one, but also reduces your risk of mastitis.

Many mums find that talking to their little ones about dropping the feeds helps too. Your DD is on the young side, but it is still surprising how much they understand. GL.
