Weaning my Toddler

Looking for advice on how to wean my LO, she is 21 months but nurses more often now that she ever did as a newborn. I planned to nurse until she is two like I did with my first born but she nurses much more often than he did at this age. He was only nursing in the morning and before nap/bed time. He had a pacifier and blanket that brought him comfort during the day. My daughter is only comforted by nursing. I don't really want to stop cold turkey, but need to transition her into finding comfort in another way. She eats plenty of solid food during the day so I know it is not a hunger issue. Has anyone else had this struggle? Any tips on how to handle this are much appreciated!!!
Re: Weaning my Toddler
My daughter around 13-14 months drastically increased her night nursings. Like every hour she wanted to nurse. I ended up stopping those cold turkey, still nursing before bedtime, just not in the middle of the night. She asked to nurse one night, I gently told her no, and she didn't ask after that.
