Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Exclusive breastfeeding is the best method of feeding your baby till the age of 6 months.

Even if you are going to office, I advise you to express the breast milk in a clean container and you can keep in refrigerator for next feeds. This milk is called Expressed Breast Milk (EBM).

Before feeding by a spoon, allow the milk to reach normal room temperature.

Breast milk can be expressed manually or by using a breast pump.

So in your office hours EBM can be given and during your presence direct breast feeds can be given.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
