Weaning

My daughter is 17 months old. I stopped pumping when she was a year and have just nursed morning and night since then. I have been waiting for her to be done nursing. Last night and this morning she did not want to nurse. I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity and I figure that she is done. I am definitely ready to be done but have been hoping that it would be more on her terms than mine.

I am wondering what I can do to help me dry up the quickest. Is stopping cold turkey ok when I'm already down to nursing only twice a day? Everything I read seems to be about weaning from when you're nursing full-time to not nursing at all.

Thanks in advance to anybody that can give some advice.

    I went from 2 feedings per day to nothing when my second LO was 18 months. I didn't have any engorgement or any other issues. My LO stopped due to illness so it was cold turkey.

    @surpriseaddition‌ I think I am in the same situation you were. My 14 month old has a cold and is refusing to nurse, so I think we are done. He was already down to just 2 short nursing sessions (morning and night). I'm trying to decide if I should pump at all or just see what happens.
