Follow-on milk??? - reflux baby currently on Enfamil AR

Hi to all mothers of reflux babies, as the title suggests my 7 month old is currently on Enfamil AR and has managed to increase his milk intake and will take a 9oz bottle (never thought I would see the day)
Although he is weaned and has 3 meals a day - about 1 jar of baby food each time he still drinks loads of milk. He still refluxes -now have orange stains on my carpet!!!
Wondered if switching him to follow-on milk would be more satisfying. He wakes at night for dream feed around 11pm and takes 8-9oz bottle which is fine but wakes again at 5am taking 5ozs.
He has breakfast at 7am about 4oz milk at 10am, dinner 12ish, 9oz bottle at 2.30 tea at 4.30 and 9oz bottle at 6.45pm totalling 30ozs in a day. He has water with his food which he loves loves loves so no milk otherwise it would be even more. Am sure the GP thinks I am selling the Enfamil on the black market the rate we go through it!!
At what stage do you think you will get your little ones off the Enfamil?? will you just wait until 12 month and put them on cows milk?
Thanks for reading this far, phew it's long

Follow-on milk is a marketing scam. If Enfamil AR is working well for him, don't change formula.
