Brief Answer:
You may start with Lactodex premium or Nan Pro
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. You may use expressed breast milk for feeding while you go for work. Breast milk is the best nutrition for infants especially in first 6 months of life. If you are not able to continue exclusive breastfeeding then start him on Nan Pro 1, Lactogen 1 or Lactodex premium 1. All are good if given with proper dilution and hygiene. Cow milk is not recommended as it may lead to poor nutrition and cow milk allergy.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
