I recently weaned my 2 year old (I'd breastfeed continually for 4.5 years, through pregnancy and tandem fed and was.just.over.it)
I cut the night feeds first (there were three). I told ds no boobie until morning and so when he woke I recited stories I had memorized and sang songs. If he was really restless I got up and showed him the moon and stars and repeated 'night time, sleep time'. My ds wasn't aggressive but he is a groper and would have his hand in my top for comfort. After a week he was sleeping better and by three weeks he was sleeping through.
Then I cut the day feeds by distracting him. Go slow on complete weaning if you can because its full on for your boobs. I cut back to three feeds a day then cut a feed a week (or less) and then fed only every second day. I still got lumps and sore spots though and was recommended cd cabbage leaves.
