what is the best way to combine breastfeeding and formula?

I'm sure everybody has their own way. We have had two babies, and my wife was able to breastfeed for five months with both of them, but her milk supply seemingly became inadequate pretty quickly. It really depended on what we thought she was getting and what she could pump. Towards the end, we mixed the formula with the rather small amounts of breast milk, and hoped the babies received the benefits from breastmilk.
