Hi Gunita how old is your baby? World health organizations recommends 2 years of breastfeeding because they go through lot of growth spurts, teething and illness between 1 to 2 yrs , However if still want to stop please do it gently. I'm sure people will give you lot of methods like apply this and that on your nipples etc. Please dont do anything like that, baby has a very sweet relationship with our breast so end it in sweet way. Be slow and gentle, 1 feed at a time, distract the baby by taking her out while demanding or playing with her. Atarah is 16 mo and I have weaned her day feed but keeping the night feed because I feel its necessary and she cant sleep through the night with just dinner. So I feed her to sleep in the night and by 4 or 5 am she demands and I give. I first slowly weaned her from after bath feed , then 12 PM feed then 3 PM then evening and it took me around 1 month to stop completely. Also if you are feeding in lying down position then you need to feed sitting that's the first step to weaning .
