Baby-led Weaning off my breast at 11.5 months

Chloe suddenly becomes independent and rejected my breast, also today is the first night she can sleep through the night... i guess she is telling me "hay mom: i am a toddler not a baby, i don't need to rely on you, i am too busy to explore new tastes and the world rather than spending lots of time on sucking your boring nipples. also, i prefer sleep more rather than waking up at night to do something stupid". She has been crying 3 nights in a row and been rejecting my breast, then i thought, is she teething? she normally needs my breast more if she is teething to get the comfort of it.....why she refuses my breast before she goes to bed and can stand not drinking any milk before bedtime? is she sick cos she crys for an hour before she went straight to sleep mode. now i realised she was telling me she don't want my breast since 3 days ago.

I need to adjust myself cos i am still waking up 2-3 times at night and wondering why she is still sleeping.

Anyway... today it reminds me of this big achivement of Chloe becomes a Toddler, not a baby.
