OB mag bolus - bolus from bag or smaller dose bags?

I work for an organization that has merged in recent years and we have a difference in process between sites in how OB mag boluses are delivered. Half of the sites have always bolused from the continuous infusion bag using the bolus feature on our infusion pumps. The other sites have used 4g/2g mag bags to give the bolus dose and do not allow bolus from bag. I'm curious which method other organizations are currently using and if you are aware of any limitations or events with your current method. For context we are an Epic organization using Alaris pumps.
