I was asked to give a sample of my sons urine. He is 9 months.
It is tiny bit darker than light yellow.is this normal?

He hardly drinks anything during the day and finding it very hard to get him to drink water or milk.

I do have a picture, this is my first post and I can’t see if I can share an image

Most of his calories should still be coming from breastmilk or formula at this point- why is he not drinking anything?

Since starting solids he has cut down on the breast so much. He only seems to feed during the night. In the day he hardly does and just spits out water.
I’ve spoken to doctors about it and they say encourage him to but he just won’t he gets very fussy and just won’t have much at all

Sounds like a nursing strike- you need to keep offering the breast through it because they don't naturally wean this early. Put 'nursing strike breastfeeding' into Google and a fair bit of information will come up. He's not old enough to be just on solids, particularly if he's not drinking anything.
