I know one baby (adopted) who was mainly formula-fed but received
enough donor milk to make up 20-25% of her diet.  Her parents were at
first reluctant to give the human milk for the last feeding of the
day, having heard that it was more quickly digested and thus more
likely to result in a hungry baby in the middle of the night.
Later, they tried it several times and reported that the contents of
the bottle made no difference whatsoever in her sleeping patterns.
She slept the same and woke the same and took her next feeding the
same either way.
