Direct latch vs bottle fed

Hi moms! Im a FTM and I’m just wondering, which is commonly used? My friends around me just gave birth and most of them call it breastfeeding but they’re exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. I was pro breastfed- direct lacthing and intend to do till baby turns 1. But I feel like it’s uncommon? Why do people pump and bottle feee? Is it easier? Is it still “breastfeeding” when baby doesn’t actually get your breast?

I have a impatient baby and i wasnt really keen to stop latching. She injure my nipples vry badly too. Hubby said why dont we bottle feed instead so ya, i ended up doing that and couldnt get my ger back to latch. We knew we definitely nd to send her to ifc so i tink its not a bad idea to bottle feed as well since i dont really have enuf milk for her. Bottle feeding lets me know how much she is drinking also. I tink it can be really tiring to latch too since pumping is also making me very tired now 😅😅
