how often is your 1 year old breastfeeding?

Addie is 14 months old and we do 3 a day, I am currently trying to cut out the lunch time feed. I do first thing in the morning and to go to sleep at night. I will keep going with these two till either she gives them up or I will see how I feel about it when she turns 2!! She started sleeping through the night at 11 months so was lucky to give up the night feed then. It has made a huge difference to my energy levels too(not being woken!) My DH got up to her the first couple of times when she woke during the night so she has forgotten about the bb in the night time.
I think just go with your gut and what you and bub want. My girl would be feeding 4 times a day still if I let her, but I need to cut back for my energy and feel like I have a bit of me back. I do love the feeding though I just need to stick with twice a day.

Thanks everyone for your replies! It really helps me to know that there are others out there who are doing a similar thing I agree with bhoysgirl, its lovely to know im not the only one (after being told by GP i was feeding too much).

I also got told by my GP and MCHN that I was feeding DD too often when she was almost one and I was still feeding her 4 times a day. I started to feel as if I was doing something wrong so quickly cut down to 2 a day - just morning and night (and the occasional night feed if she wakes up and won't go back down without a feed). We are still on 2 feeds a day here.
