And how old are they?

20mo would still bf round the clock if he could

My son is 13 months has one in the morning and one in the evening. Will only have more if he's teething or poorly.

I breastfed until DD was 3, frequency changed significantly during toddler hood sometimes it was once a day sometimes it was almost like she was a newborn again when she was teething and getting her molars, I imagine for comfort and pain relief more than anything. Once her molars were through it reduced to literally 30 seconds once a week, as if just checking it was still there and then on the eve of her 3rd birthday declared herself too old and that was that.

22 month old DD. She would also feed all day and night if she could. I have started saying no during the daytime apart from at nap time, usually if I distract her she accepts it.

DD never cut down from infancy till I made her just after 2. Basically hourly unless incredibly distracted or apart (not that much because covid)

My 3yo has about 15-30 mins bf morning and evening. But if I'm not about he's not that bothered

I have a 20 month old and I have just managed to get her down to morning and bedtime. She would have it round the clock if she could!
