Hello ladies. Looking for some tips/advice on night weaning. Here's some background.

She was born full term but spend her first 2 weeks in the NICU due to meconium aspiration and pulmonary hypertension. We weren't allowed to hold or feed her until she was 5 days old. Since she left the hospital she's had no serious health issues. For her first 6 months or so I used both nursing and bottles of breast milk and sometimes formula. Then I became a stay at home mom for the next 9 months and started exclusively nursing her because that was easier than pumping. A few months ago when she was 14 months I went back to work and she had to give up the day time nursing which went pretty well. So then we only did night time nursing. I'd never planned to nurse this long but it worked out so I did. Now that I am pregnant again and she is getting bigger I am ready to stop. She is now 17 months old. Over the last month we have gone from nursing on demand at night to only nursing once before going to bed by gently telling her no milk and offering her a pacifier. At first she would get really upset and have a meltdown. Initially I tried offering a bottle or cup but she'd just get madder and throw it. Now she fuses for a minute or two then accepts the pacifier and goes back to sleep. We do this twice a night on average.

So now we are left with the one last nursing before bed. It's a comfort for her more than nutrition.She eats the same food we eat through out the day so it's not hunger. I've been trying to avoid just stopping the last one cold turkey but I am not sure how to ease her off of it. As soon as she starts to doze off I stop nursing and give her the pacifier. She usually protests for a minute then accepts the pacifier. Anyone have experience or tips for how to stop this last nursing?
