Will the night feed drop naturally (11 month old)?

DD2 is 11 months old and still has one breastfeed at night. She eats plenty of solids in the day and has a bf first thing in the morning, after lunch and before bed.
What do you reckon the chances of her dropping the night feed on her own and when did it happen for your LO?

Mine DD is 8 months old and I thought she would drop her two feeds naturally. My GP and HV both told me that she didn't need the food in the night. In the end I just stopped feeding her one night - let her lie in the bed next to me and cry for ten minutes. She didn't ask for it again I was just ending up too exhausted after feeding in the night and have A LOT more energy when I wake up now.

my ff ds didn't.

we gradually weaned him off it over a few weeks and now doesn't have one unless he didn't eat enough during the day. started with 6oz, then 5 for 4 days then 4 for 4 days and then just stopped as he didn't seem ravenous for it.
