My 9 month old breastfeed about 6 times. I'm not sure how much as I latch on.
He eats very few occasionally when he's fussy n it could be due to teething pains. On some days he eats more. Is he refusing everyday or does he eat lesser only on some days? If its only on some days, it's normal. Just increase the breastfeeding to give him more nutrients from milk.

Perhaps you can try giving him finger-foods like cut up fruits or vegetables (steamed if too hard). It helps with their motor skills too. Agree with lyra, try to increase the breastmilk intake. At this age it is not so important for them to eat much as the nutrients from food is still not easily absorbed by their bodies so they get more nutrients from breastmilk than food :)

my 9 months old boy is very interested in eating...even though he only grown cute teeth. I am breastfeeding him, he will bottle feed when I am at work and when I come home from evening to next morning, I latch him on about 5 times.
yes agree that its ok as long as baby is still breastfeeding, you are still providing him with the best thing :) dont worry. I am amazed that your baby drinks 350ml of milk! hehe if bottle feed, my boy only drinks 100ml ..not sure whether I should be worried or not, but when I see him happy and smilling, i stop worrying :)
