                        I just weaned my 19 mo old last month.  He was also very attached.  I went cold turkey.  It's the only way for me.  He cryed for two nights, on and off and on the third day it was me who was suffering with engorgment.  I went to my garden and cut cabbage and wrapped my breasts and I was alright within a week.  The baby is now happily weaned after only two nights of discomfort.  I hope this helps.
