IMHO, it is just common sense.  If you mix the two, and the baby only takes
half of it, you've wasted the EBM -- which is TOO EXPENSIVE to waste!  I
mean, my gosh -- if you were only even paying for it from a human milk bank,
it would bee $2.50 or $2.75/OUNCE.  Would we even THINK of mixing it w/
something else????  I don't think so!  Therefore, give the baby all the EBM
FIRST, and then supplement w/ ABM if absolutely necessary.

YIKES!
