Well, I'll make the suggestion that you don't necessarily do either. When I'm away from my DS, he just drinks water from a sippy. When I get back he's always very ready to nurse, but he's usually happy while I'm gone. I don't know the specific hours you work but based on "midnights" I guessing you're there to nurse him to sleep and he's only missing the morning feeding. In that case, your DH could give him a sippy/bottle when he wakes and then he could nurse as soon as you got home. HTH
Suggestion:
My son turned one days ago, we are still bfing on demand - I guess. You see I work midnights 3 nights a week, and he wakes up before I get home, sometimes he wakes in the middle of the night even.
My husband has been giving him EBM, but now I have to return the borrowed electric breastpump. I don't have $$ to buy one. I have a manual pump, but it is as effecient as the electric.
So as he is now a year old, I was wondering what to put in those bottles (those few bottles) he does get? I buy organic 2% milk and Silk Vanilla Soy milk. Which is better for him?
Sorry if I seem dense on this. I am not a new mother, but fairly new to this.

I leave for work at 10:30pm. He gets one last nursing at 10. He mostly sleeps until 5-7 am. He could sleep til 7, but anywhere between 5-7 he has been known to wake, screaming for me. When I am off we bed-share.
i am one handed now.... must go, but tell me more about rice over soy.
thanks for the help
