LO won't stay latched...xp

My LO nurses and gets supplemental formula because of my supply issues. For the last two days, I have tried to keep her latched during the day, but she pops off and gets super frustrated. The only time she will stay for even a few minutes is after she has a really long stretch of sleep.

I've tried putting some formula on my nipples and switching sides. Any tips for getting her to stay latched? I am pumping too, but worried this will problem will hurt my supply.

    Maybe pump a little first so she gets instant gratification. She may not want to do the work to get your milk to let down, since she knows a bottle is easier.
