How often would you expect a 10month old to BF?

DD2 is BF but is increasingly going very long stretches in day without feeding. Generally if we are at home I will feed her every 3/4 hours just to get her to sleep or perk her up after a nap. But she's just started spending a bit of time with people other than me (childminder, and starting nursery in a month) and yesterday she went from 10.45 to bedtime without feeding. She had EBM at the childminder but had no interest in it. Obviously I can't make her drink it but strikes me as a very long time without milk for a young(ish) baby? She had some sips of water and ate plenty of food BTW. Just wondering if that's ok or whether I should try different types of bottle/cup to try and encourage her to have the EBM.?

ds1 wouldn't take expressed milk. At that age he was in nursery most days. He bf morning and night and maybe once overnight. dd probably fed between 10 and 20 times in the 24 hour period! Send her some milk in a cup for if she wants it but don't stress.
