Nervous about making it to a year

I posted this in breastfeeding as well but didn't want to include the cosleeping bit. My baby is 9mo now and we are just 3 months away from a year of EBF. I think knowing that it's coming up and we're so close to the "finish line" (we'll continue going after 1yr, it's just that that's our absolute minimum) it's creating anxiety for me. I'm afraid of my milk randomly drying up or my supply dropping drastically. I just need some support. Babe is still nursing 4-6x a day and then whatever she's having overnight which I don't keep track of as we cosleep so she just latches on and off all throughout the night. Is it realistic for my milk to suddenly drop or dry up completely at this point? Or are we almost certain to make it to at least a year?

How long to do dinner before bedtime?

Tonight my 9mo old ate solids like FOR REAL this time. She actually was grabbing it and eating it and really loving it. But now I'm wondering as I'm putting her to bed and she doesn't seem as hungry for "booba" ... should I do dinner earlier? Normally she gets up from her second nap and plays for a while, then has dinner and a bath and right to bed. Should I do dinner immediately after nap so the solids have time to digest? I don't want her getting so full on solids that she's not wanting to nurse before bed. Breastmilk is still the primary source of nutrition correct?
