You can pump the breastmilk and ask someone in your family to feed the baby on time. You can also give start feeing some food to babies that are about 6 months like fruit and vegetables purees

After the age of 6 months, breastfeeding alone is no longer enough for optimal growth and development of the child. Hence, it is necessary to start complementary feeding (CF) along with breast milk. As the child grows, increase the number of times that the child is fed: 2&ndash;3 meals per day for infants 6&ndash;8 months of age and 3&ndash;4 meals per day for infants 9&ndash;23 months of age, with 1&ndash;2 additional snacks as required; use fortified complementary foods or vitamin-mineral supplements as needed and gradually increase food consistency and variety. Over and above the nutritional benefits, complementary feeding can strengthen the bond between children and their parents. Avoid foods such as whole nuts, seeds, corn chips, hard lollies, raw carrot, and chunks of apple. There is no need to add sugar or salt to foods. They can cause tooth decay and can make extra work for your baby's small kidneys. Cow's milk should not be given as a drink until 12 months of age.
