Is it okay to feed my baby after a long gap?

Q: My baby is five month old. I have resumed working and joined my office recently. My working hours are 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. I feed my baby in the morning before going to office and then feed him when I reach home. Is it okay to feed my child after a long time gap?

A:Yes, it is okay to feed your baby after this gap. You can express your milk and store it in the refrigerator and then leave for office. This expressed milk can be given to him in the afternoon. Do not boil the expressed breast milk. Please keep it in a bowl of warm water to bring it to the room temperature and then your baby can be fed.
