Nursing with a bad latch

My baby is almost four months old and I still don't have the hang of nursing.  I mainly pump, but she nurses overnight and maybe once a day.  I know the latch is poor, but I can't seem to improve it and I've meet with a LC on multiple occasions.  She gets around 20 ounces a day by bottle so I know she is getting enough when combined with nursing.  I'm curious, does anyone nurse despite a poor latch?

    I do and DS gets about 1 bottle of EBM per day. At this point, it doesn't hurt much but I know he is not as efficient about removing the milk as he could be.

    I wouldn't say it's "bad" but I know DD2's latch isn't perfect but since she's thriving and I'm not in incredible pain I just deal with it.
