10 1/2 m.o. and frequency

If you are still nursing, how often is LO nursing and are you supplementing with water in a sippy if their liquid consumption has dropped? 

I am trying to figure out what to do at daycare, DD still happily takes 12 oz over 8 hours, 4 of those are in a sippy at lunch.  She nurses when she gets up, after work and at bedtime as well as maybe once over night.  I am trying to decide if I should give her a sippy of BM at breakfast at daycare and drop her 1pm bottle and just nurse her when I get there at 3:30.  That would make her schedule look like this:

6am nurse

8am sippy of BM (4oz), breakfast - fruit, protein/grain

11:30 sippy of BM (4oz) lunch - vegetable, protein, grain

3pm - snack - fruit

3:30 nurse

5pm - dinner vegetable, protein, grain

6:30 nurse

Is this enough? DD is 10 1/2 months.

I hope there are some other responses b/c I'm curious too, I'm looking to drop a pump session and not sure whether I need to pop in some formula for the missing bottle... he still takes 12oz at DC.

6:30a nurse

8am bfast @ DC

9am 4oz bottle BM

11ish lunch @ DC

12ish 4oz bottle BM

2:30 snack

3-4 4oz bottle BM

if his bottle was a 3, he nurses between 5-6, dinner is usually right after, then he nurses to sleep around 8:30.

We haven't done BM in a sippy but he takes water, they give him water every now and then at DC. I might talk to them about stretching out the bottles and giving some water sippies instead. Hmm...

I am still nursing and LO does not get any other liquid besides breastmilk. He usually takes about 10 oz while I'm at work for 8 hours. I nurse him before work and then when we get home. I nurse him a couple times in the evening and then 2 or 3 times at overnight. He doesn't get a regular schedule of solids so I don't really keep track of those. Honestly, if he's hungry, I either nurse him or give him some finger foods. I just go off his cues.

DD is older (15 months) but at 11 months she started practicing with water in a sippy.  She didn't really figure it out until past a year (oy) so I didn't use it to replace a feeding. 

Now, at 15 months, her feeding schedule isn't TOO different, although she's taking a little less at each feeding I think.  We do:

6:30 or 7 AM:  Nurse

8:30 or 9 AM: Bfast at DC (this is new.  We used to do it at home)

11:30 or 12 PM:  Lunch at DC, then bottle (4 oz)  She should get a sippy of milk but still isn't good at drinking out of it right now...

3 PM:  Bottle (4 oz)

5:30 PM:  Nurse at home (just a little "hello" short session)

6 PM:  Dinner

7 PM: Nurse before bed (yup... we still do that...)

Sometimes a session overnight, especially because she has had a ton of ear infections...
