With my adopted babies, there were times when I had a friend donating at 
least a small amount of EBM, to replace some of the formula that I needed to 
use to supplement my milk with.  Usually, it was in the neighborhood of 4 
ounces a day, which I was happy to add to the average of 12-16 ounces a day 
they got from me.  I kept the EBM seperate, to be sure that it all got used. 
  I generally filled a Lact-Aid or, in some cases, a bottle, with only two 
ounces of EBM at a time.  If I thought the baby would likely need more than 
two ounces of supplement at a feeding, I either had a second Lact-Aid or 
bottle ready to switch out as soon the EBM was gone, or was prepared to add 
to the Lact-Aid bag without having to get up.  I felt like it was well worth 
the little extra preparation, to make sure that none of the little EBM I had 
got thrown out, mixed with formula that the baby didn't take.
