Food Additive, Supplement Breastmilk

Question :
My son aged 4 months. I already gave him fruit and milk porridge, but the doctor told me not to give extra food before 6 months. according to doctors, breast milk is best for my child. the thing is, my son was 5 kg weight is always crying when the mother's milk in the stop. presumably he was still hungry.
because I have started working, than he was hungry, I give it that extra food. My doctor also told, before 6 months of the child should be given breast milk as much as possible so that it becomes a smart boy. meanwhile, my mother's milk is also not as much as 2 months. whether he really is not short of food if given only breast milk, since she was crying then.?
how way out the doctor, since I also have to work. Thank you.


Answer : 
now there is a new view of breast milk, so many maternity homes and hospitals, and physician practices that support it. one of them is breast-feeding exclusively, which means that breast milk is the only baby food. generally exclusive breast-feeding until the age of 4 to 6 months.
when the baby has passed the age of 4 months, some experts allow supplementary feeding, such as fruit or milk porridge, in addition to breast milk itself, of course. in families with allergic disease, it is recommended breast-feeding exclusively until 6 months of age.
course on working mothers, whose office did not have a baby daycare, it is difficult to give breast milk to her child. in other words, the mother was forced to introduce formula feeding their babies when the mother was not there at his side. recently also introduced a great way for mothers who work in an office away from home, can still provide mother's milk. ie, while working in the office at certain times (usually every 2 hours) it must issue its mother's milk and store it in the fridge. so breast milk can be given the next day when he was in office.
that a mother's breast milk will be decreasing over time, it is understandable, because the frequency of administration also may begin to decrease (the mother had given food and fruit to the baby). especially if the mother does not periodically remove breast milk at work.
so, since your child was 4 months, it is not wrong if you give milk porridge and fruit. just keep in mind, providing fruit for the first time must be finely filtered, diluted with boiled water, and portions should be given little by little.
