Support needed

Hey mamas. Has anyone switched from exclusive pumping to formula? My plan had been to switch and be done pumping by Christmas, which means to slowly wean I need to start this week. I’m having a really hard time now that the time has come. My LO will be 5 months on Sunday and we’ll start soft foods soon. I feel so, so guilty about stopping but also have moments every single day of frustration while pumping. I’ve had clogged ducts 4 or 5 times in 2 weeks, I feel super stressed getting out the door in the morning, tied to dishes every night, like I can freely snuggle my LO because I have to think of when I pump again, and every single activity has to be perfectly timed around my schedule. But my body is capable. I’m averaging 40 Oz a day and have a solid 1000oz freezer stash. How did others that quit handle any guilt you may have felt? Needing encouragement to know I’m not doing a bad thing by quitting.
