Persists but don't force. I can't latch because of the shape of my nip and I choose to pump fully from the day my milk kicked in. I managed to give y gal full ebm till she's 1yo and frankly speaking, I do see the difference between a formula fed bb and a breast fed bb, in terms of their immunities. My elder boy was breast fed till 5mo but he seems weaker in the initial months. Both went to IFC btw, and my gal fell sick less. So try to breastfeed if you still have the supply, even if feeding is through bottles...
