These amounts are based on a formula fed baby. I have breastfed/pumped for multiple babies, and none of them ever took more than 4 oz. The beauty of breastmilk, among other things, is that the composition changes to meet your baby's needs, and it becomes more concentrated as your baby ages. Thus, your baby won't need 7 oz of breastmilk at a sitting. If your baby does, you might be overfeeding your baby or using high flow bottle nipples.
