Question feeding schedule for a 9m old

I am letting Cristi feed on demand, she is only nursing 3 sometimes a short 4th time. She nurses around 8am, then at noon, and sometimes i can get a short one around 3:30-4 and then at bedtime. She is eating foods as well, cereal in the morning table food around 11 and a snack at 4, with supper at 5-5:30.

1)Is she nursing enough? Never making it to 9 months I am not sure.
2) when she is on the bottle next week will she want to eat more often?

sounds about right to me too from what i've heard; Gabby really like her "bah" (breastmilk) so she was feeding a little more than that at that age

You're fine. . .she's drinking plenty. I have had children who wouldn't take bm from a cup (we don't do bottles) and just drank more water, and others who wanted more if I wasn't there. If I was there forget it--bm from a cup was anathema. She'll let you know what she needs--I wouldn't worry about it.
