Unless I am trying to take in formula at too fast a rate, I don't have stomach problems. Like Christine, I now prefer to do one continuous feeding overnight.
I find that disconnecting myself from the pump in the middle of the night is no big deal; if I had a pump with a battery, I would just unplug it from the wall and wheel it to the potty.
