Hi,
I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you with returning to your job.
Now I guess you know that mother's milk is gold standard. There are a lot of studies done about mother's milk. It will protect your child from infection,increase immunity,it is prophylaxis of infection. You try to use extracted milk. If it is impossible,then go on formula-NaN 2.
However you should introduce solids also ,give soup,mashed potato,egg,meat.
I think it is answer to your query.
Wish you and baby a good health
