How to get a mommy break while full time breastfeeding?

I have a beautiful, sweet, snuggly, 5 month baby boy who we just adore. He is a delight in our house and since having him I’ve been a SAHM which has been awesome! However, lately I’ve been feeling as though I need some me time, but since he exclusively breastfeeds I’m not sure how to make that happen. We don’t have a freezer supply of pumped milk because he’s always on the boob, and even if we did I’d have to pump anyways if someone bottle fed him. I just feel like I can’t do much for myself because I’m his life source, but I’m really needing a break.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has felt this way so I wanted to come here for some comfort or advice. I would really just love a spa day or to go out on a late night date with my husband, but being glued to a baby and being exhausted all the time makes that seem impossible. Any kind words are appreciated!
