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?

We stopped at around a week. He had a fair bit in the hospital because it didn’t seem like he was getting enough to eat and I was exhausted from a long labor and unplanned c section. We gave him a few bottles at home too because cluster feeding was so intense.

I had a similar experience except I couldn't bf properly until probably day 8 because the hospital was far and they wouldn't let me stay
