My almost one year old is (and has been for about a month) breastfeeding 3 times a day. I am not supplementing with any formula or cow's milk (she occasionally has some rice milk). She eats plenty of solids and seems totally healthy and fine in terms of growth, weight, etc. Should she be taking formula though or is 3 times/day enough breastmilk? Thanks so much for your response.

I would encourage more nursing. Humans need to nurse for a full two years- minimum. Breastmilk is the best nutrition- far better than formula.

I do think you should encourage more nursing. Even if she is eating a good amount of solids they are still nutritionally deficient compared to breastmilk.
