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.

There’s really nothing wrong about it. I stopped pumping in the middle of the night when my son starts to sleep through the night. It’s at the expense of depleting my milk but i needed sleep too. Though i do feel guilty about it because I’m currently not working and i have all the time in my hands but i chose to not pump regularly to sustain my milk production. Honestly, i think people need to stop this stereotype. My friend couldn’t produce milk from the start & had to formula fed since newborn yet her baby is healthy and normal. Just do you! At least one task (pumping) is off your shoulders so you’ll have more time to do other things
