How many feeds per day breastfeeding

This is something I could of wrote myself!
We are not having three meals yet, but wondering how to make sure that milk remains the main source of nutrition… I offer on demand a couple of times a day and night
My 8 month old has 3 meals a day and I just feed him when he seems like he is hungry between that. He probably feeds 4/5 times during the day (varies from 2-3 mins if he's awake and 10-20 if he feeds to sleep). He does feed 3 times on average through the night though so is having 7 or 8 feeds a day still!
Feel exactly the same with you with regards to offering. I would say we are down to 4 bfs a day and she takes both sides each time. One when she wakes up for the day. One throughout the day. One before bed and one overnight.
I could have written this as well! My 7.5 month old has just started 3 meals a day and since he just isn't interested in milk apart from in the night. Which is troubling as he used to sleep through 😂😂 I would say in the last 24 hours he has had 5 feeds varying in time and then his 3 full meals
My baby is the same age, also taken well to weaning and been on 3 meals for a while now. I do 4 breast feeds a day, (roughly) 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm - he usually has 1 feed during the night around 4am. He feeds for about 5 mins each feed but think he’s very efficient and guzzling it quite quickly!
