How are you able to combo feed if you are the sole caretaker (husband is home)?

So like the tittle says, I'm the sole caretaker because I'm breastfeeding and my baby is always eating (snacking) and between that there are diaper changes and if I get lucky a couple of naps (elsewhere than on me). My boobs get filled with milk quickly and I'm sore if he is sleeping or if he feeds from one side, I've had mastitis twicw now (currently taking antibiotics). I'm thinking pf completely switching go formula for mental health and because I do not want to keep getting mastitis, plus it feels like I'm always trying to catch up with my breasts being sore from getting filled with milk, I have to pump before going to bed (whenever that might be for my baby) and wake up twice overnight to feed and pump (engorgement). That's the only milk I can collect, besides that it is very difficult to pump now with a 10 week old and since I struggle with the boob soreness I prefer him to feed rather than having bottles, I'm the one going to be giving bottles since husband does not insist when baby refuses bottles at thw first go, I know I have to change that and make him parent more. Does it sound like an oversupply?
