I can't remember exactly how many bfs DD was having at 9 mths, but I know by 12 mths she was down to four bfs a day (and had been for a little while) - first thing in the morning, before morning nap, before afternoon nap and before bed. She dropped the morning nap at about 15 mths and that feed went too. She went through a brief period of bfing more overnight (which I eventually put a stop too as it was exhausting on the days I was working!) but then back to her three bfs. I cut out her nap bf at about 18 mths and she was happy enough without it. I figured she'd cut back on her own.

Was I wrong! She went with those 2 bfs up until she was nearly 3 1/2 and since then has been faithfully holding to her one morning bf for about 6 mths.

Every child is different. It is important that he continues to bf at his age, but he could very likely continue for some time yet. Don't be surprised if he shows a renewed enthusiasm for it at some point too (and you'll be back to wishing for the 4 bfs per day!). If you're following his lead, he will let you know. If you are concerned he is cutting back too many bfs, try bfing him where there are no distractions, in a darkened room, or in the bath, for eg. Just keep offering and he will likely take you up sometimes.

FWIW it IS weaning, in the meaning that he's eating more 'food', but not in the meaning that he's finished with bfing.
