dc1- Pretty early, well before a year. He was very stuck in a little routine of his own devising. Trouble is the 2 feeds he kept were 4am and 4pm Hmm.

dc2- Never. She fed night and day (mostly night, in fact she was perma-latched at night) until around 21 months when I went mad, threw in the towl and stopped feeding, only to find that she pretty mcuh didn't care Hmm.

Mine dropped down at about 7.5 months. She isn't hungry enough for 3 meals and more than 2 bottles (morning and bedtime). I just gave up trying to get more in her as it just became a battle of wills. She won!

My 11 month old still hasn't! I've swapped his two day time breastfeeds for cups of milk though so am only breastfeeding morning and bedtime now.

18 mo and still on at least 4/day. He has about 300ml of cow's milk during the day too.

All of my 3 children have been down to two feeds (first thing in morning, last thing at night) at around 10/11 months.

DD1 was coming up 3y when she was down to 2 feeds a day.

DD2 was about 2.6y when she was down to 2 feeds a day.

DD3 has yet to go down to 2 feeds a day unless you discount any night feeds and is 21m.

DD2 (3.8y now) sometimes has more than 2 feeds a day or might go anything up to a week with out it (though she almost always has a feed at bfing group [seeing babies nursing reminds her of how much she likes to nurse!]). DD3 always has a feed on waking (~6am) and before bed though she will probably nurse once in the night and will nurse during the day if we aren't too busy.

DD1 had cow's milk in a beaker from ~15m, DD2 had cow's milk in a beaker from ~17m (due to no milk in 2nd trimester of pg) and DD3 has a very occasional beaker of cow's milk if she specifically asks for it (points at fridge and grins).

Around 4yo for ds1.

Ds2 16months and still having umpteen a day.

Er... DC1 21 months (I cut down, as was pregnant and sore). Did go back up again for a couple of months at age 2.3 after DC2 was born. Was down to 1 per day by about 3 years.
DC2 about 3 years
DC3 No idea. Still on at least 8 per 24hrs at 20 months.
