Yes you can combine them but do not add fresh bm to frozen bm directly.  YOu need to chill the fresh bm first then add it to the frozen bm.  If you intend to feed right away then warm the frozen bm and add in the fresh one.  HTH

I do this also. If i only have a couple of oz i freeze it then add the next once chilled until i have enough for 1 bottle, and so on.
