8-month-old down to 2 milk feeds a day

My 8-month-old recently dropped her middle of the day milk feed, meaning she is now just having breast milk at the beginning and the end of the day. She doesn't have any formula milk. She has 3 full solid meals (plus some snacks) a day, and I make sure that she has quite a lot of dairy throughout the day (she normally has yoghurt, or extra cow's milk added to her meals).

This all suits me well as I am going back to work soon and am pleased to be able to continue breast feeding in the morning and evening without worrying about the rest of the day - but do you think she is getting enough of everything she needs?

I'm no expert but I reckon you have to trust babies to eat/drink what they need. Does she drink anything else, eg water? Is she doing enough wet/dirty nappies? I would think if her weight is ok, she looks and acts healthy and she's weeing etc enough she must be getting what she needs

Thanks sparkymummy, yes she is chubby and happy and generally seems healthy - and plenty of dirty nappies...!
