My dd is 24 months and I'm 8weeks pg, she too was a nurse to sleep kinda kid. I was feeling touched out and she was just latching on and getting frustrated with my lack of milk so I told her that the nanas were going away because she's a big girl now and that I'd lay with her till she fell asleep. Of course I now fall asleep with her every day.
Can you try to explain it to her on her level? I'm not sure if it will work for your dd, mine seemed ready to wean so it was not a struggle for her to accept my "story". Does she need two naps? Would she be more likely to fall asleep more easily if you cut her down to one? Can you plan on being out for napos for a few days, it might be enough to get her out of her nurse to sleep routine. Prehaps combining a few ideas would do the trick?
I nursed my ds all through my second pregnancy, I remember how it took all of me sometimes to keep going with it. I commend you for keeping your dd's needs in mind.
