Difficulty breastfeeding my baby due to flat nipples and low milk supply

My baby is 19 days old, I have flat nipples so I have to use a nipple shield every time I feed him. I don't know if he is getting enough milk. I bottle feed him after each session of breastfeeding. How can I get him to latch on to my nipples without a shield, how to increase milk supply?
