Breastfeeding and going back to work

Hi everyone,
Im currently on maternity leave with my 10 months old that is exclusively breastfed since birth. I never gave formula or bottle or even pumped milk.
Im supposed to go back to work in about 2 months and will be working long shifts of 12 hours that include day and night shift. Currently my baby breastfeeds a lot and uses me for comfort, she does eat solids and drinks water but it mostly just snacks here and there. Breastmilk is still her favorite food.
Im kinda lost not sure how to go about it when I go back to work. Should I introduce a bottle? Start pumping? Give formula for the days im not home? Im not even sure she will take a bottle since she never had one.
Just wondering if anyone experienced something similar and if there are any suggestions?
