I say; why not!
we all know that mother's milk is the most important thing in the world for your baby; at least for first six months.
but there are some social situations like place of work and society when breastfeeding isnt possible for some reasons.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS:
Mother's milk can be stored at room temperature for upto 12 hours and in refrigerator for upto 24 hours without getting spoiled.
Now you know the trick.
Feed your baby early in morning before going to work.
Express milk in a clean sterile/boiled container; express both breasts; each for upto 15-20 minutes so that FULL milk is emptied.
If you feel like milk not moving take a break of an hour; try again. SO if you start at 6 am, by 8 am you may have average of a glass of milk which may suffice for your baby for next 2 feeds.
This milk, as can be stored at room temperature for 12 hrs; can be carried in a bottle wherever baby goes; and baby can be fed at convenient times even if baby is in crèche or with attendant.
You can again feed your baby when you are back from work.
You can remove extra milk in night; and store in refrigerator; if you think your baby may require more milk.
You may use breast pumps initially if you find it difficult to express milk. You will learn in 2 days.
No all this is easy and not tedious nor tiring!
The more often you stimulate / express / feed with breast; the more milk will be let out and hence; healthier will be your baby.
