is it okay to bottle feed instead of breastfeeding?

im a ftm and my newborn’s almost a month old. ive tried breastfeeding during the first few weeks but stopped due to poor latch (due to inverted/flat nipple) that caused trauma to my nipples. im currently bottle feeding with BM and i cant help but feel guilty and super lost about not breastfeeding my LO. ive thought about seeing a lactation consultant but just didnt feel like it’s necessary. theres also concerns about going out and having to pump, making sure to feed just on time so the milk doesnt go to waste and stuff like that. #advicepls

dont guilt trip yourself ya my bb didnt want to latch too , i had to pump out and bottle feed just like you had too but I stopped within a month as my hubby and I had no external help so I couldnt keep up with the pumping. formula milk is just as fine! dont worry
