Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children4 years agoA. You need not give away breastfeeding after u join to work. You can get a good quality electric breast pump and express milk everyday, store it, so that the care taker can feed the baby in ur absence. You can start practicing this a few weeks before you join work so the baby will be ready to accept the change when u go to work. If u r planning to go for bottle feeding. Then you should choose the right bottle which goes well with breastfeeding. Medela calma bottles and teats are designed to give the same feel as feeding from the mother so that the baby won't resist breastmilk while parallely feeding through the bottle and vice versa. it worked for me May be u can give it a try. After u return from work u can breastfeed the baby directly. Also now that the child is old enough you can give solids too. Babies between six to 12 months may need around 500 750 ml milk per day based on their other solid intake.
