Can you give us a sense of her eating/sleeping schedule? My first suggestion would be to try to separate nursing and sleeping, so maybe you move up the nursing sessions by a half hour so she eats, then plays, then sleeps. And do a snack before nursing.

We swapped nursing for a sippy cup of WCM when we weaned. At that time, we were just nursing in the mornings. Also, for about two weeks, we couldn't even sit where we used to nurse (in my bed right after she woke up) because she would get very upset when she couldn't have milkies.

I slowly weaned over the summer before going back to work. DD was the same age as yours. I just switched to WCM in a sippy before her two naps. I gave it to her in the family room though while reading stories. Then we would go to bedroom and put on sleep sack, maybe read another book. I kept nursing morning, after work, and before bed for a little while longer. At that point I wasn't nursing to sleep ever though.
Now I have DS who is 7 months and I'm going back to work in September. He doesn't nurse before his first nap because he eats a huge breakfast and just isn't interested in it. Can you try having breakfast closer to nap?

I'll be honest, I would probably work on reducing sessions a little bit, but for the most part enjoy my time with my baby and not stress. It will work it self out when you literally aren't there to nurse.

I went to work at 10 months and left WCM for thr feeds I wasn't there for (it worked out to only 1, I think. I didn't wean or prepare. If I was home (weekends, etc), I nursed. If not, I didn't. It wasn't a big deal.
