Decreased Breastmilk

My baby will be 2 months old come April 10. I have been expressing/pumping breastmilk and is feeding my baby through a baby bottle. However this past few days my milk supply has been decreasing rapidly. I usually pump every 4 hrs and can produce up to 4 oz but now I'm already lucky to get 2 oz every 4 hrs. I started supplementing formula last week due to this and I'm afraid I might eventually fail to feed my baby with breastmilk. Guilt consumes me at the thought and its making me frustrated all the time. I don't think its good for my mental health. Ok lang ba mag formula nalang ako? I found this online (pic below) pero I'm not very convinced yet. Thanks sa mag respond.

For me sis okay na magformula ka if tingin mo hindi na healthy para sayo. Kasi kapag stress ka na at frustrated ka na makaproduce ng madaming milk, maapektuhan na relationship mo sa anak mo. Sa experience ko, after ko manganak 4 days pa ko nagkagatas. Nung nas hospital ako pinipilit nila ko na magbreastfeed eh wala ngang lumalabas kahit anong gawin namin nung isang nurse.pero yung ibang nurse kakapressure talaga. Hindi na kami nakatiis kasi naawa na kami sa baby ko, gutom na gutom na. bumili na kami ng formula. Ngayon formula na lang si baby kasi super hina talaga ng gatas ko at di ko yun pinagsisihan kasi nawala stress ko pilitin dumami supply ko. Wag kang maguilty Sis. Babawi na lang tayo sa ibang bagay kay baby :)
