7 mnth old food and milk... should I worry?

7 month old on dairy free milk and diet due to severe eczema

He eats a lot and havent been weaning long. He currently has a bit of breakfast (example below) a small bit of lunch and some dinner. He is also drinking a lot of milk still. More than he used to on no food. The diary free milk is quite thin so not sure if that's it?

Just not sure if I should worry more. Aside form the eczema he is well in himself.

Example day

Weetabix with some mashed fruit

Finger foods - broccoli carrot apple banana a bit of toast etc

Something like spag bol or cottage pie for dinner.

He is still taking about 30oz of milk and woke up twice in the night for 2 whole bottles which he demolished. He was born on the 2nd percentile reached the 20th by 4 months so he isn't a small boy.
Can only think the change of milk is keeping him hungry maybe...?

Would love to get rid of that 2nd night time bottle.
Any advice/ experience?

I’m not sure I’m clear on what you’re worried about?

the tiny amount of food they eat at this point doesn’t have many calories in it, milk is still their primary source until they’re 1

id keep feeding him then offering milk during the day, you could night wean by gradually reducing the oz in his second bottle

but sounds totally normal. Would be different if he was 3 and you were posting this but at 7 months totally normal!

Thank you. I guess its the 2 bottles at night as before he was on 1, but guess that's development and growing. His new milk just seems so thin
