It goes from 3 to 5 for me depending if he STTNs or not. I nurse in the morning, evening and night during weekdays. In the weekend though, he usually asks during the day too.

I don't know?
For a while she was down to 4x/day, but lately she nurses a lot more because of teething. She is on and off so much this week, I don't even try to count.
She's weaned herself down to two. First thing in the morning, and right before bed. The morning one is usually super short - 5-10 min max, but we're still hanging in there!!

Zoe nurses as soon as she wakes up in the morning, before her nap, she has an afternoon "snack", before bed, and then 3-4 times at night. There are sometimes other snacking sessions, but this is what she usually does.

I voted 6, because I feel like that's the average. He'll nurse at midnight, 3, 6, 9, then after nap time is over and again before bed. It could be more or less than that, depending on what we're doing that day. If we're out and about, he doesn't request as often. And when we're home, sometimes he'll ask every hour, but I'll give him water or a pacifier instead. The teeth/teething are starting to make it painful.

Too damned many, is that an option? He nurses before daycare, then nonstop from the time we get home til he goes to bed. We cosleep so he pacifies when he wakes in the MOTN. Somebody help!
A lot when I'm home. As much as he wants (usually) and 3-4 times at night.
Pretty much this. 8-9 with 3-4 of those in the motn lately. The motn has historically not been this many but we are at a peak that I'm hoping fizzles out soon. Things are more relaxed during the day now if we are out. She went from 9:30am to past 3pm the day we went to the fair. I like this stage minus the nocturnal activities ATM. We will be introducing a milk substitute in a sippy a few days a week when she starts school in fall.

I voted "just like to click things", but I'll throw in our 15 month stats regarding BFing even though we've weaned since DS is one of the oldest babies here.
At 15 months he was down to just morning and bedtime, and did fine if I wasn't there for either of those sessions. We started weaning off the night feeding right after his 15 mo birthday.
We're down to just one before bed. We were doing first thing in the morning, after I got home from work, sometimes before bed and then 2-3 times in the MOTN. H wanted me to wean him completely when we did night weaning, so keeping the one evening one was the compromise.
If he was to ask for it at any time I wouldn't deny, but he never does.
4/5 including MOTN. Usually it's early morning to catch extra sleep, before nap, before bed and sometimes a comfort snack if he needs it. If he wakes in the night he will fall asleep as soon as the boob hits his mouth, so I can usually just unlatch and fall back to sleep as well.
