Re-chill unused EBM

Hey guys, need your advise. My 3mth baby recently increased from 60ml to 100-120ml. However some of the milk I have expressed previously is up to 85ml. Can I warm up 2 bags to make up to 120ml and put the remaining milk back into the fridge? For instance I have 1 bag of 60ml and the other is 85ml. I need to mix them and instead of dumping the remaining 25ml, I chill it back. Those milk bags are frozen by the way hence I will need to thaw them first.

Once you thaw and warm the EBM, DO NOT RE-FREEZE. It will cause bacteria to grow in the milk. If baby didn’t finish, leave in the fridge and consume within 2 hours. Moving forward, pack your EBM in bags of 60ml. If ever the unfinished milk has passed the expected time, don’t throw it away. Use it as milk bath for baby. Good for their heat rash, diaper rash, etc. https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/handling_breastmilk.htm
