Have you considered having DH get baby A, changing her (if you are still doing night changes), and then bringing her TO you so you can lay & nurse her, then taking baby A back to her bed when she's done? This tend to be the best way mom can get adequate rest without skipping nursing sessions, which can be REALLY important in the first days.....AND prolactin production is alot higher at night so nightfeedings are great great great for supply! I take all the feedings for P at home but I'm pretty sure if you bottlefeed you usually have to compensate by pumping to maintain supply so it kind of ends up being moot point. =/

I hope you can get something to work for you though... it's tough being a tired mommy in those beginning days!

Have you thought about getting up, heating up a mug of water in your microwave, and bringing it to DH with the bottle while he changes the baby? Then, he can rock her while the bottle finishes heating up, and you can either go back to sleep or even use that time to pump. We used to do this, because for me, nursing in the middle of the night took three times as long as feeding from a bottle, and even if I stayed up and pumped we were all back in bed after 20 minutes vs the 45 minutes to an hour I would be up (alone) if I nursed.
Every baby is different, but we found that as long as someone was holding him, my LO would stay in a semi-sleepy state for those middle of the night wakeups. And it's SO much better to share in the misery of a midnight feeding, especially if you can shorten the time you're both up by working as a team.
