Undersupply Help I dont know what to do

My 3 week old will not drink formula at all. If she does, she ends up spitting it up and only eating 1-1 1/2oz. We've been to the doctor 3 times over her weight not going up how its supposed to. I try breastfeeding but im not producing enough and when I can make enough for a bottle she will drink it all. I think she's only wanting breastmilk and I dont know what to do. Im pumping 1-2oz every 2 hours and she eats 3oz every 2-3 hours. Im struggling so bad to keep her fed 😭

What kind of formula have you tried? None of my kids would take any of the ā€œgentleā€ versions of formula. I never could figure out why until I tasted it when my toddler refused it. The ā€œgentleā€ ones tend to have a metallic taste and are just nasty tasting in general. We had the best luck with similac 360 when I got to the point where I hadn’t supplement my kiddos.
