only 2 BF for 9 month old

My 9 month old has recently shown no interest for her 11:30am-ish and 2:30pm-ish breastfeed. Her other BF is the first one in the morning and last one before bed - no problem there usually. It just seems soon that she is down to 2 BFs. Everywhere I have read at 9 months it's 3 BFs. She seems to be dropping both. Is this normal as well? I have tried BFs before solids but she still doesn't show interest and then wolfs down her solids.

Nevertheless I'm concerned with lack of milk intake. Is there a thread with some suggestions? I couldn't find it. Or just keep at adding more yoghurt, cheese etc into her diet?

She drinks water from a straw cup. I put formula and ebm in it but she didn't show interest in that either.

Her teething phase and nursing strike has ended. Her teeth has come in. And at 9 months she is active and I have tried to BF in a quiet place during the day etc without much success.

Thanks for any help!

I wouldn't worry about this, to be honest. I expect she's getting enough breast milk. You can offer more cheese etc, but don't stress about it.

Oh, have you tried taking a bath with her? That might make her have a good feed? The old 'bath buffet' experience is generally popular.
