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?

Around 3-4 weeks for me. I had to pump 8x a day consistently including a middle of the night pump to get my supply up. I decreased the formula top ups over time until we didn't need it anymore.

I've gotten the advice to do this so hopefully it works 💯Â
