Solid food should be started only when the baby completes six months of age. Up to six months of age, it's strongly recommended to breastfeed the baby exclusively. If you are a working mother, You can express milk with the help of breast pump and this milk can be kept at room temperature for 6 hours and inside the refrigerator for 24 hours and can be fed by any caretaker to the baby.

Dear Mother,
Yes you can use Breast pump for feeding. Do not introduce any solid foods until your child 6 Completed months. Breast feeding should be given exclusively for first 6months. You can slowly introduce solid foods in small amounts in 6-8months along with decreasing your breast feeds.
Until then only Breast feed.
