    9 1/2 month old is he eating and drinking enough
    I have a 9 1/2 month old boy an I'm not sure whether he is getting enough to eat an drink he isn't a chubby baby an never has been he only has 2 300 ml bottles a day he has a 300ml bottle and 1-2 pieces of toast for breakfast and for lunch he has 170g of youghurt or fruit plus an hour after that he has 2-4 biscuits then for tea he has 170-220g vegies or pasta or whatever I give him then he will have 1 biscuit and he has juice throughout the day then he will have a 300ml bottle 1 1/2 hours before bed he hasn't lost any weight but is that enough for him.
    Also he has been waking at 6 o clock every morning for a couple of days and won't go back to sleep he only sleeps 1/12-2 hours during the day and doesn't go to bed until 8.30 and he is still tired when he wakes how can I get him to go back to sleep he used to sleep until 7.45-8
    Any advice with any of these questions would be great...

    What protein (meat) is he eating? His food choices don't sound very interesting. Does he eat cut-up foods by himself?

    Here is a good site (it says on the site 9-12 months) --

    He is drinking 30 ounces a day. This is not very much. Is he getting any juices? I do see you are feeing him quite a bit of biscuits (I'm from the US and those are cookies I believe). He may be getting too many sweets.

    If he is not losing weight that is good. You don't mention what his weight is now though, or what his birth weight was. That would be a tremendous help.
