Your husband can give the baby breastmilk in a bottle. Although many people mix formula feedings with breastmilk feedings, it wreaks havoc on the baby and really messes up your milk supply.

It's just as easy to take the baby into bed with you and nurse on demand through the night. You won't even remember waking up for the brief moment it takes to 'switch sides' and it's better for you both. Cosleeping is safe, too. In the early days, get a co-sleeper or sidecar the crib onto your bed and just move the baby in and out as needed.

Just my 2 shekels...

I learned a lot about cosleeping in both anthropology and psychology classes. It is so interesting what "western" countries do in comparison to much of the world. If I ever marry and have kids I will more than likely do the cosleeping, and I plan to breastfeed. It is natural and FREE!

My mother worked hard to get me to breast feed but as an infant I'd reject her. I liked breast milk, just not straight from the source. She used to have to fake me out with a nipple from a bottle. My refusal to nurse directly has been given as a reason for the strained relationship we've always had, or so some people think :rolleyes:

Breast fed exclusively for the first year, and non-exclusively until I was almost 3 years old. Never had an ounce of formula. I have a good friend who is a pediatrician, and he was telling me that he sees so many problems come from babies who are bottle fed formulas rather than breast milk...

I nursed for a long time, can't remember how long. My mom is a big believer in breastfeeding.

I was breastfed for a couple of months, then formula. My kids, on the other hand, were breastfed exclusively for months and nonexclusively for years, and never had an ounce of formula. If I were to change careers, lactation consultant would probably be on my short list. I'm pretty passionate about the benefits of nursing for those moms who are able to do it. I'll also echo what PenguinTrax said about cosleeping. Safe, easy, and allows mom to get pretty darn close to a full night's sleep!!
