Default Child Led Weaning

I should probably post this in extended breastfeeding, but I don't go there much, so I am posting it here.
My son is really young, so it could be that I just don't know how it works, but nevertheless I have a question. I have been reading on other boards that "don't ask don't offer" is a weaning technique. I plan on actively offering as long as he is unable to directly ask. But once he can ask for it, I plan on just letting him ask. I guess what I am asking is did you guys offer a set number of times a day to extend nursing? I guess I just feel like the most natural way for nursing to end is this technique that lots of people call a weaning technique. I don't want to wean him before he is ready, but I also don't want to make him nurse when he wouldn't want to on his own. Any thoughts/opinions?
