How to stop breastfeeding in a toddler?

Hello doctor,

My daughter is 20 months old and still breastfeeding. She did not fall asleep without breastfeeding, even though she had some solids. Her weight is 11.1 kg. So is there any easy way to ween off toddlers abruptly, like any gel or balm that mums can apply on their breasts, and toddlers may not like the taste and quit breastfeeding? Once I tried the no daytime feeding method, but she needs it before nap and bedtime. She cannot fall asleep without feeding. I also tried cow's and formula milk, but she does not take them in a bottle or cup. Any advice for me so she would sleep independently without feeding on breastmilk?
