Starting to wean

Cormama

My little (not so little) one will be 2 next week and I feel like it's time to start weaning. She's still waking up at least 3 times a night and I'm just ready to sleep again! At night she nurses then I put her in her bed and sit with her until she falls asleep and we're working on getting her to fall BACK asleep without nursing. I've been telling her that she can have a little milk and then she has to lay back down and it's working okay some of the time. She usually cries for a few minutes before she settles down. When she's done speeping for the night or for her naps she is so used to nursing as soon as she wakes up. I'm wondering what I can do to gently get her up and going without nursing. Any advice?

Thanks!
