I'm not sure if any are better or necessarily easier but I think it probably depends on the LO in question. I am currently mid DF wean with my 9 month old DD and have opted to go for reducing amounts and bringing the feed earlier. We used to give the feed at 10.30pm and it was 6oz of which she usually drank 5oz -ish. For four days we did 4oz at 10pm and we have just done four nights of 3oz and 9.30pm. It seems to be going well so far, we haven't had any NF or disturbances at about 10.30, even though she often used to wake at around that time. I wanted to reduce amounts slowly to help increasing the intake during the daytime feeds but I also wanted to bring it earlier in case DD had got stuck with slight wakening at 10.30. I also have several friends IRL who have just stopped cold turkey, but their LOs had started to self-wean I think, taking less at the DF before it was stopped.
Whatever you decide, good luck xx
