Weaning onto bottles - how to tackle night feeds please?

Am gradually putting LO on bottles in preparation for my return to work in a month. I'm finding it hard to stop breastfeeding at night - it sounds daft but I'm not sure how to bottle feed at night!!! At present I breastfeed him in bed which is so easy. Any tips on bottle feeding at night (without completely waking LO up?) would be much appreciated!

why do you want to stop bf at night? how many feeds does he have? would it not be easier to continue bf? lots of mums continue to bf and work full time. is he actually waking for feeds? it's just that you're asking how to feed him without waking him.

sorry first message a bit unclear! I guess I want tips on how to bottlefeed at night in the most efficient, least disruptive way. My job doesn't allow for expressing (believe me!). I'm concerned about being completely exhausted if i carry on breastfeeding at night - he still wakes 3/4 times. DH is becoming LO's FT carer so he needs to be able to feed him at night too. I've come to terms with stopping breastfeeding although it's made me sad in the last week or so. (LO is 20 weeks)
