The bed time feed? Bottle or not?

I’m breastfeeding my 6 wk old DD but just lately all she seems to want to do is ‘snack’, on the boob, off the boob all day.
My other half usually does the last feed around 23.30/midnight with expressed milk and I head up early to bed.
Lately DD has been sleeping through so well that I’ve been getting more sleep than him! So tonight I’m doing the last feed but I really do not believe for a moment that she will take a ‘good feed’ from me enough to get her A. Tired enough to drop off to sleep or B. Stay that way over night.
Should I give her the feed from a bottle knowing that that should achieve both of those things or will that confuse her/cause more issues breastfeeding???

Any help/advice???

We are the same here! I have been getting 8 hours while dh gets 2×6 - I let him lie in at weekends. When ds is reliably sleeping at least 6 hours from the late feed every night we might share the same bed again and then when ds is 4 months move him to his own room...
