  I wouldn't put it in the same bottle. I know its more washing up but i would give one bottle, wind the the other bottle if your lo is still hungry.

  I don't get enough when I express to make up a whole bottle so I add to it over several expressing sessions which you can do as long as it is in the same day. Also, when I first started expressing I was only getting 1oz at a time but the more you do it the more you get. I still only get 3oz a time but my supply is rubbish!

  You can, I think it has to be at the same temp tho i.e both room temp or both cooled in the fridge.
  The doctors had me doing this when she was in for jaundice
