its best to feed atleast 18 months... dats my doc suggestion.. if u want to stop then giv feeding only night and stop in the morning for a week... then slowly keep something sour on ur nipples... so that she tastes and leave it... i kept zandubalm ..dats bizzare but my kid never after asked for feeding... u can keep neem juice or some thing sour or bitter... but first thing let her get used to bottle in the morning then try nights...

u first stop feeding at day time, then slowly stop at night. feed her and at 8:30 pm then give her milk at 9:30 just before going to bed. this will keep her tummy full and she can sleep at stretch for 3-4 hrs. she is too small now so don't stop feeding completely so sudden. this process will require a lot of Patience and time.

pat her to sleep.... when she wakes up.. also ask your husband to comfort her when she wakes up.. pick her up and walk so that she is put into sleep ..u can stop night feeding like that... its high time to stop night feeding cos she is 15 months also if she gets the required nutrition through out the day then she wont need a night feed...
