I don't think there are any 'shoulds' at this age, some bubs only have 3 or 4 breastfeeds a day, others have 10+ (my DD). It depends what works for mum and bub. I was seperating BFs and solids (we did BLS) , but breastfed first in the morning at this age. A bit later (12 or 13 months) i started doing solids for breakfast first thing and then BF later.
I also offered more small meals rather than big main meals, sometimes she was interested and other times not.
My DD fed over night every night until 15 months. She was then ok with a backrub if she woke up. Some night she wants a feed (she has been sick too) but its not every night. I never forced the night weaning (but i was still ok with doing it and we co-sleep so i wasn't having to get up). I began offering a cuddle or backrub before a feed if she woke, and initially she would just let me know that nah, she wanted a bf. but over time, she began to settle some times just with the cuddle.
My DD took awhile to eat large amounts, some of this was just time and also offering small things more often helped. Does your LO like yogurt?
My DD never took EBM either. She would drink water, but usually just made up her fluids when i got back from work. i never tried formula, but now she will sometimes take cows milk. It was really only after i got pregnant, and my supply decreased though that she would take cows milk, and its not her fav.
