For those who weaned a baby older than 9 months....

Did you have trouble holding/cradling you baby while weaning from breastfeeding? I plan to wean at 12 months for various reasons but I’m worried I won’t be able to cuddle her like I normally do. Right now, when I cuddle/cradle her, she always wants to nurse. While weaning I can see this make her frustrated (smelling my milk but not being able to nurse).

Experience? Tips?
