As per global strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) One of the must thing to be followed is initial 6 months exclusive breast feeding.
If u have issues with milk production, do take care of ur diet . or take medical help.
If work timings r the issue, express the breast milk and feed the same to ur baby. Ask the caregiver to do it.
If u r not happy with the process of breastfeeding, talk to ur pediatrician or lactation consultant.
