one BF a day enough for a 14 month old?

My 14 month DD is down to am and pm feeds but she has been quite distracted with the am feed especially when DH is in the room! The other day she wasn't up in time for me to feed her before I caught the bus to work so I just went in for a quick cuddle then left. If we drop this feed is the bedtime one enough or should I be giving her cows milk in the mornings? I have a fear that once she has different milk she might not want mine anymore but that's probably just me being silly. I still love BF and want to carry on as long as we can. We had IVF then a section and I feel like BF is the one thing I have managed to do 'naturally'. Also we might not have another baby so I want her to stay a baby as long as possible!

you should be fine doing just one a day. i have certainyl found with my 2 that were still breastfed then that they had a real uninterested phase around 12-14 months-ish

then they suddenly went back to the breast like mad things! my 17 month old is feeding like a newborn sometimes these days lol

Yeah, DS wasn't that bothered around that age either.
If she's having other dairy in her diet, cheese, yoghurt etc. then I wouldn't bother adding any milk atm.
