My baby is not breastfeeding properly and will only latch with a nipple shield. Additionally, she feeds for short periods of time before stopping. What steps can I take to address this issue?

Can you pump and bottle feed? My boy is now 1 year old on the 18th, he was latching just fine from birth but stopped just a week before 7 months, so since then I'm pumping for him, we need to supplement with formula since 5.5 months but he throws up from it so it's not good, as he is getting big now he gets less formula and is doing much better, but I'm still pumping for him. Pumping is exhausting but baby gets all the benefits of breastmilk and at least I know exactly how much he is eating
