substitute cow's milk when I'm gone??

Thinking this is the best place to put this....

I regularly breastfeed my almost 13 month old, generally around naps (before and after) and before bedtime, sometimes at other times (oh yeah can't forget about during the night!!).

I work from home and sometimes have to go out so whoever he's with (dad or mil) will give him a bottle if it's been 4 hours before naps. I had a small stash of breastmilk that has just run out.

Now I'm wondering, should I keep pumping periodically (it's always only been when I've missed a session) or introduce cow's milk and go with that when I'm not here?

Any ideas?

My son is exactly a year old this week and I have a stash of breast milk in the freezer, but we've introduced goats milk to him as well, and he'll take either now. I am so over pumping now, so I'm happy he'l take other kinds of milk while I'm gone! I'd try milk (cow's or goat's) and be sure your son is OK with it, and then just go with what is best for you too,

Thanks for the response. I think it is what I'll do. It's not like I am gone all that often and it would simplify things a bit.
