Am I breastfeeding enough?

Hi,
I've been weaning my 7mth DD for 4 weeks but I'm wondering if I'm breastfeeding her enough. The main reason I'm asking this is because she's not sleeping at all well. I think we've both picked up bad habits in the lead up to being weaned when she first started to sleep badly.
At the moment, I b/f..
on waking
mid morning (she tends to fall asleep during)
mid afternoon (as above)
bedtime

I did try to feed just after meals but she never seems interested. Yes, I know feeding her to sleep is a bad idea but I'll have to fight that battle another day - not long ago she wouldn't sleep at all during the day so at least this way I get a break.

Thanks

My ds was on same routine as you lo at this age too. If hungry he'd wake in the night. Bit of a pain but it sorts its self out eventually!
