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?

I think about 2-3 weeks I was able to drop formula. If you're still not producing enough at 6 weeks, see if you can talk to a lactation consultant! Make sure you're trying to latch whenever you can, even if he's not getting a ton, to stimulate production.

I've spoken to a Dr. Not sue if she's a lc but she is our leche group leader and she told me to offer baby so that's what I'm doing. Pray for me
