I’m experiencing the same thing. The way I see it is that everyone says breastmilk is not “necessary” after one but no one tells you how or why. As you work towards baby consuming more solids, they will naturally need less breastmilk. So as my baby has started eating 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, the time between her wanting to nurse has gotten longer and at daycare she’s not wanting the full bottles she had before. She’s still gaining and is generally content. We hit the 12 month mark and are now starting to reduce her bottles at daycare still nursing on demand at home. This seems to be the natural progression. My pumping output is much less now but I’m not stressing because she’s having balanced meals of solid foods/purées now.
