What to do about overnight feeds and enzymes....

My daughter is about to get a pump to do overnight feeds as opposed to daytime boluses. I am concerned though about what enzymes we are going to give her so that we don't have to wake her up. I know that most people right now use Viokase powder or Pancrecarb, but it is being discontinued.
A few questions:

1. How do you do enzymes with overnight feeds? (Do you take them before and after or what?)

2. Do you use a predigested formula or not?

3. Can you set the pump to do 270mL per hour?
