Stoping breastfeeding

Ria

Baby girl turned 5 months yesterday. My plan was to start working on cutting down on pumping and gradually switching her over to formula. She would be on completely formula by 6 months. I was looking forward to it for the longest. Now that I am about to start the transition I feel sad/conflicted. When I stop breastfeeding I would feel free and have more time to do some things. but when I start thinking of stopping I start tearing up. Guess it's because I liked holding her in my arms while she feeds or how she falls asleep in my arms after feeding. It comforts her. This is my third time around doing this and seems im just as sad about it if not more this time. How did anyone get through it if you have felt this way?
