Is this enough milk?

My 8month DD is EBF but is not really having much milk in the day. I offer a breast feed first thing but if she has any it's only a little feed. She then has breakfast, a snack and lunch before another mini feed at around 3, she then has tea and a long feed before bed. She is bloody still waking once if I'm lucky in the night and has another feed then.

Is this enough milk? She's v happy and settled and has lots of wet and dirty nappies, though the poos are a lot drier than when my other 2 DC were having bottles at this age. Sorry if TMI!

If she's happy then it's probably fine, but FWIW I was still doing a mid morning feed aswell at that age.

I would also do a mid morning g feed at this age too.

Can you drop the morning snack and offer a bf instead. At that age DD was on five daytime feeds (first thing, mid-morning, lunch, mid-afternoon and bedtime) plus one during the night. She just had breakfast, lunch (which I think had only just become a daily thing at that age) and tea, in terms of solids...
