How often has someone else put the baby down with a bottle if ever?
Ds is just over three months old and I have yet to have someone else do a bottle at nighttime. One time I ran out for a mani/pedi after I put him down and he woke up so dh has to give him a bottle. But I haven't missed a bedtime yet!

Pretty much never. Our nanny put her to bed once at 8 months with a bottle. DH did it one other time when I had a late work event around 7 months. But, otherwise I never left her around bedtime until she was over a year and less dependent on nursing to sleep. If I put her to bed now at 20 months she wants to nurse, but she's totally fine with DH putting her to bed now even if I'm home.

I actually don't nurse my twins all the way to sleep anymore at almost 18 months, but I did until after a year and nursing is still part of our bedtime routine. At this point they could probably do without nursing and just go to sleep after a cup of milk? But we have never tried that. My ILs did or my kids to bed when we went to a wedding when they were 10 weeks old. They took a bottle that night, and were used to that because we supplemented. Other than that one night, I've done all their bedtime.

I nurse to sleep every night but there have been a few times when my husband or a sitter has put her to bed with a bottle and she does fine. I always worrY it will be a disaster but it always goes off without a hitch!

I nurse to sleep sometimes with my 2 month old but we try to give one bottle a day, and it's usually that last bottle so it's just as likely to be DH feeding her.
And I'd say 40% of the time she wakes back up and we have to put her down to sleep with just a paci anyway.
