BF 9-10 month olds

How often do you BF your 9-10 month old?  Assuming I'm still BF when school resumes in August, I'm trying to see if it'll be possible to pump with my new schedule.  What does your nursing "schedule" look like?

    I still bf 7-8 times per day including 1-2 times overnight.  I bf every 2-3 hours during the day.  The 3 hours are between solids.  He eats solids twice a day, but we are going to add a third meal this week, so I expect to drop one bf session soon- hopefully one of the overnight ones.

    DD eats four times during the day.  We breastfeed "on demand" but she pretty much put herself on a schedule somewhere around 7-8 months.  She eats at 9am before her first nap, 1pm before her second nap, 3:30 ish and then again at bedtime.  She's up overnight to eat and co-sleeps with us for the last part of the night.  If she didn't do that, I'm sure we'd also have an AM feeding.  She's on three solid meals per day now.  

    She started daycare today.  I'm going to pump twice per workday to cover the 9am and 1pm feedings.  My plan is to feed her when I pick up up, which will be a little later than 3:30/4, but I think she'll want to nurse after a day of bottles, and then at bed.    I'm only going to pump until 1 year.  That's a reasonable goal, but I don't think I want to pump much more than that.   We'll switch her to whole milk for the daytime feedings and I'll keep nursing for the evening feedings.

    Our current schedule is:

    7 am nurse, 7:45 - cereal

    11 am bottle (or nurse on weekends) solids

    1 pm nurse (this one doesn't always happen)

    3 pm - bottle (nurse) - snack

    5 pm - solid dinner

    7 pm -nurse

    He is usually up once per night to nurse also.

    DD doesn't eat from the breast, but I'm EPing. Just last week we went to four bottles (6 oz each) and three solid meals. I think you'll probably have to wait and see how your baby eats. My friend's EBF son nurses twice per day and eats solids the rest of the time.

    DD nurses when she wakes up between 6:30-7, before her nap between 10-11, sometime in the late afternoon (usually; she's started to skip it every now and then), and then before bed around 8. She eats solids three times a day.
