Is this ok?

Still learning the "rules"!

Pumped around 4 and put it in the fridge.  Will pump again in a few hrs.  Can I put more BM in the same bottle as the 4 am bottle?  Or does each pump need its own bottle?  As long as DS eats it within 8 days, we are good, right?

I mix milk from different pumping sessions all of the time.  It is fine.  I just make sure that they are the same temperature before mixing them

The Mayo Clinic says

"

You can add freshly expressed breast milk to refrigerated or frozen milk you expressed earlier in the same day. However, be sure to cool the freshly expressed breast milk in the refrigerator or a cooler with ice packs for at least one hour before adding it to previously chilled milk. Don't add warm breast milk to frozen breast milk because it will cause the frozen milk to partially thaw. Keep milk expressed on different days in separate containers."

You can mix the BM bottles as long as they are the same temperature.
