If you bf your 14 mth old - how often do you feed and how long for?

Sorry - this is quite long.

I'm bf my dd during the day and in the evening she takes a bottle of about 250ml of cow's milk. I bf her for 4-5 mins each side first thing at about 7.30am and then for about the same length of time at 11.30/12. I then feed her again for a similar time at about 4.30. She then takes her bottle of cow's milk at 7.30pm. For the last couple of days she has been really difficult to get on to the breast at her normal time of 4.30pm. She starts to cry and I have to wait for 30 minutes or so to get her to feed. Does this mean I should be dropping this feed? If I do any tips on how to drop the feed without getting mastitis?

Also, do you find that at this age they get easily distracted and if so, what's the best way of getting their attention without being mauled? TIA

I didn't have any problems dropping feeds by the time mine were that age. I could go a day without and didn't even feel like I was getting over-full. Do you still get that full feeling when a feed is due? Don't have any answers as to if you should be dropping it but perhaps just wait until she asks and see if she wants it?
