Stop breastfeeding?

Anyone stopped breastfeeding at 4-5m postpartum? I've always been a just-enough supply mum and my supply dropped tremendously recently. I'm 4.5m post partum and find it stressful and tiring to continue. But i also feel guilty for wanting to stop. Not sure if I should take this "opportunity" to slowly stop breastfeeding? Just want to hear from fellow mums on their dilemma and what is the eventual choice taken.

Giving some is better than giving none. It's ok if supply drop it's normal especially after returning back to work. Don't be too hard on yourself . Soon baby will be weaning too. My supply drop too, 4mths PP mom as well. Just try as much to make it work. Mornings b4 everything else get a pump sesh. Once drop all kids and baby, before walking to office I will fix my wearable pump. It's just the next pump sesh will be during my lunch. You just try what you can don't be too stress about it. 🙂 You can try the babyexpress pumps. Theirs is wearable will make it easy for you. The sound is not too loud as well. Good luck!
