Hi Ales,
It is recommended that you should breastfeed exclusively for the first 4-6 months of life and thereafter add other things to the diet of the baby plus breastmilk.
It is usual to continue breastfeeding till 12-18months.
Now I understand that your work might be demanding but you should understand that Breastmilk is very stable. You can express the breastmilk before going to work in the morning.
All that is needed to be done is that they can put in the fridge and warm it once the baby wants it. Then you can also add other things to the diet. Care must be taken to ensure cleanliness at all times.
I even understand that some work places have creches and stuffs like that you can breastfeed your baby at breaktime if your work allows such but if not, just express and give instructions b4 leaving for work.
Nothing like breastmilk for a baby ma.

I would be glad to answer other questions.

Ciao
