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.

Agree with all mummies. Fed baby = happy baby. Happy mummy = happy baby. Baby will still be full and happy be it bm or fm. Do whats best for your mental health! I honestly stopped giving bm at only 1 week old cause i was so depressed from the pumping sessions and at the same time still in so much pain for csect, to add on trying to adapt with a newborn that keeps crying. Esp when youre a ftm. My baby is now 8 weeks on full FM, very happy, gaining consistent weight. 🙌🏻
