Can’t decide whether or not to stop breastfeeding

T🌸

I really feel like I need another mom’s perspective on this. All my mom friends talk about how much they LOOOOVE breastfeeding. I expected to as well. But the first week, I absolutely hated it. Lots of pain and obstacles. Since then (baby is 5 weeks old) I’ve just disliked it and it’s been an inconvenience in some ways (planning our day around her feedings because I hate feeding her in public, can’t while driving, and don’t want to spend all my time in the other room when we have company) I wish I hadn’t continued past the first few days when I wanted to quit. I would just quit now, but I feel guilty for it because breastfeeding supposedly lowers the risk of SIDS. So I feel selfish for not loving it and wanting to stop which is keeping me from stopping, all the while I just don’t like what we’re doing now. Someone with an experienced perspective please help me weigh my options
