Is It Required To Give Packet Milk For 4 Months Old?

Hello Dr, I have a 4 month old baby girl. I am feeding her with breast milk and home-made ragi porridge. Ragi porridge is given thrice a day (Morning by 9, Afternoon by 1 and Night by 7). Is it required to give packet milk for her? I should go to office from next week and she keeps crying if I am not with her. My in-laws or mother can t manage her once she starts crying? I can only come during my lunch to home for feeding her and it s difficult to come before 6 clock in the evening, Please suggest what should be done if she keeps crying.
