My daughter quited night feeding when 2 months old but resumed it at about 7 months old. It lasted until she was 14 months. From mid of Aug 2007 (28 months old), she quit the morning feeding and I feed her at night before sleep only.

My son more or less stops taking night feed around 4 months old. He's now 6 months. I don't think there is any special way you can 'force' baby to stop. Babies have their own way and will stop when they're ready.
One thing you may want to review is whether your baby can sleep by herself. As some moms point out already, their babies feed because they want to suck rather than because they're hungry. Some babies need to suck to fall asleep. I think you can try to see if you can train baby to sleep by herself, that way there is a lesser chance of you needing to feed her at night. Having said that my baby only managed to sleep by himself from around 2.5 months. Your baby is still young, so be patient and it will happen.
my baby is 10 mths old and still having night feeding abt 2-3 times a night. I would be so blessed if he wakes up only 1-2 times. I do believe babies wake up for comfort than hunger. There are mothers who trained their babies to quit night feeding by putting the baby into a separate room without responding to baby's cry at night for couple of days. However, it depends on individual mummy's preference. I still enjoying co-sleeping with my baby at night and it would be just too cruel for me to ignore him for night feeding. Only concern that my baby is not getting straight sleep.
I didn't really train him up for that. He just didn't wake up for milk. But I also noticed that he liked to cluster feed in the evening, i.e., from 5-10 p.m., say only 1.5 hours between each feeding, and then after the last feeding at around 10, he could sleep until 6 in the morning. That was, of course, when he was small, for he needs 1-2 nite feedings now.
