Maybe I am just over thinking this.

I did. I just wanted more than 3hrs of uninterruped sleep and when DH offered to feed DD a bottle so this could happen, I never thought twice. LOL I'm sure it had some effect on my supply since I skipped a BF session but I never did notice. DD is 5 1/2 mo and DH still gives her a "goodnight" bottle (now it's considered "their time" together) every night. I'll BF for about 15 min first, then she gets the bottle. She's exclusively BF minus that one bottle.
Hope this helps!
Amybeth - thanks for that tip, I need to try that!
