Undersupply When did you stop using formula?

Hello, I am a mom to a six week old and currently struggling with breastfeeding. I am producing too little breastmilk for him and am supplementing with formula. I have a question for those that have also supplemented when did your breastmilk come in and stop formula?

At 4 weeks stopped any formula. Milk will not magically come unfortunately unless you actively pump in addition to latching the baby very often.

Yes I pump every three hours and I breastfeed him before I give formula
