Is there a particular reason you are wanting to stop? If the two of you are happy, there is no reason to quit. 12 months is actually the minimum that the AAP suggests.
Check out the link below for some night weaning tips.
Another option is to have dad take a sippy of water and take over the nighttime parenting. This way the child is not left alone to cry, but has a parent to cuddle with and be comforted back to sleep.

Actually 6 months is the minimum the AAP recommends for breastfeeding and up to 12 months with support.
Anyway, try giving your baby cereal before bedtime. This is usually good for filling baby's tummy's. Good luck.

I started giving my son formula at night and that would last him all night. It seemed to fill him up better than breast milk and he would go longer til the morning feed.

She should not have to feed at night at all. Just stop doing it.

Keep milk in a feeding bottle and use it at night.
