Thanks heaps for your prompt replies. It all seemed like a good idea at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more the logistics got in the way and it all started to seem like more trouble than it was worth! I thought there might be a trick to it, but maybe I will wait a while longer and see how things go.
DH is happy to do the nappy change/burping/settling and I am feeding in bed, so we will keep going with that for a while longer.
