How much breast milk does a 7-month-old need?
What this age is really about
One or two small solid meals coexist with essentially unchanged milk intake. If bottles suddenly shrink, check whether solids crept in front of milk feeds; at this age the order should still favor milk.
The pumping-mom angle
A stash built for going back to work often peaks in usefulness here: daycare bottles standardize and planning finally beats improvising.
Bottle math for this age
Daily ounces ÷ feeds = the bottle. At 24 to 30 oz across 4 to 5 feeds, portion storage in amounts near 6 to 8 oz so leftovers never hit the 2-hour discard rule. Small bags waste less at every age.
