Regarding breastfeeding
My daughter is 1 and half month old. I had inverted nipples so initially I used nipple shield for breastfeeding during early days of delivery. Since my breast were too engorged I started using breast pump to express milk to get time relief .The milk which I expressed I gave to my daughter thru bottle.I am having good supply.When she used to take directly from breast she used to take take 2 hrs to take milk and then we  felt she remain hungry so eventually we had to top feed her .Now I am giving majority of breast milk ( maximum pumped ) and some formula milk too. I also try to directly breast feed her .Sometimes she is taking very easily  and sometimes she didn't since I know taking milk from bottle is easy for baby.Since I am 1st time Mom, sometimes I am thinking whether by directly not breastfeeding her Am I doing something wrong.hubby says it doesn't matter as long as she is getting breast milk that is fine whatever mode is.

Your husband is right. As long as your baby is getting her own mother's breast milk it makes no difference how she is getting it. Baby is getting proteins, calories, and antibodies against so many diseases. You should be satisfied.

Ideally baby is exclusively breastfeed (directly or spoonfed breastmilk)
Next Steps
Formula feed - mix feed and using artificial nipple and bottle 🍼 invites gut infections for baby.
Health Tips
If you will still be using bottle nipple.. Do boil it in warm water to prevent infections. Ideally breastfeed baby! Through bottle away!
