How much does your 10-month-old eat and drink?

Okay, so I'm just curious, how much food/liquid do your babies consume within the space of 24 hours. My baby is still waking in the night for milk. Last night he woke twice. I feel like I'm missing something..

My LO has the following:

Breakfast: 1 1/2 Weetabix with milk, and a small portion of banana.

Lunch: 1 piece of toast with either houmous, avocado, or Philadelphia. Cooked carrot sticks, (he'll probably manage about 4/5). Also, a yogurt and a small portion of fruit.

Tea: Whatever I'm cooking. Last night we had a mini roast dinner.

In the day he'll also have some water with lunch, (barely any). And 600ml of milk in total. He woke last night night and consumed an extra 300ml of milk. :S

His portion sizes seem big to me, but I cant seem to fill him. He's quite a big baby, (very tall, not fat), but he eats every last morsel. There's rarely any left.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to introduce snacks too? Or is this normal?

I'm sure mine both had a couple of snacks a day at this age, but they weren't very calorie filled, more just to keep them going between meals, so I'm not sure they would help with the night wakinf if that's definitely about hunger.
