When did your LO drop milk feeds?

[Surfnicky]

Just as the title says really.
I am BF on demand (although it works out at about every 3 hours) and have been at the weaning thing (mixture of BLW and spooning porridge, yogurt etc) for about 2 and a half weeks now.

I always offer a BF about 30 mins to 1 hour before solids, but am just curious to know when I can expect the BFs to cut down a bit. Am planning on going to a friend's hen do at the beginning of Aug (DTs will be 11 months) and wondered whether it's realistic to expect that they will be down to one or two feeds a day by then, that could be replaced by EBM in a beaker while I'm away.

Entirely up to you. I found cutting down in the day was easy because DD1 settled for 2 feeds, one before 8AM, then a huge one from 5-6PM. That was built around a nursery day (she refused formula, so only drank water). At week-ends I found she demanded to bf a lot less in the daytime - perhaps once or twice. One method may be to give her ebm in a cup so all her daytime feeds become disconnected from bf.

Thanks toadstool! Don't get me wrong though -I am in no rush to cut them down as I do love BF my DTs, just wondering whether there is a common pattern of when babies tend to drop them. I guess it's probably different for everyone though, eh?!
