Working nights

I gave an 11 month old who wakes 2-3 times a night and I feed her back to sleep. However I’m returning to work and will be doing 1-2 nights a week and she won’t take milk from a bottle. I managed to get her to take some from a doidy cup but I’m not sure how manageable that is in night.

I’m at a bit of a loss as to what my husband can do. Should he offer her a bottle of milk or just try and comfort her back to sleep?

She eats 3 meals a day plus 4 breast feeds.

At that age she doesn't 'need' the night feeds to thrive at least.
Could your dh practice now comforting her back to sleep by cuddling / rocking her?
At this age I wouldn't bother with a bottle.
