Almost 1 year (11.5m) - how much do they nurse about & eat?

Hi all!
FTM here and I nurse full time in addition to solids 3x a day.  I am just curious what other mamas 'schedules' are around the 1 year age?

I am heading back to work in a few days and unsure of what is right in terms of how much breastmilk they drink at this age or how many times they nurse a day.  I am wondering how much pumped milk my mom should be giving her in my absence.
I currently nurse LO around 5 times a day, but I think this was out of habit rather than her really needing it, I just offered.  

THANKS!!

    I SAH, and when DS was 10m, I started gradual weaning. At 10m, I dropped him from 6x/d to 5x/d (I nurse him on schedule rather than on demand).  At 11m, I dropped to 4x/d.  Shortly after he turned 1, I introduced small amounts of WCM and dropped him to 3x/day.  

    At 13m I tried dropping him to twice a day but he was having a hard time with it, so I went back up to 3x/day.  Tried again at 14m and was down to 2x/d.  At 15m down to 1x/d.  At 16m he was weaned.
