Supplementing question!

Hi ladies
So my LO wasn't gaining and now he's lost even with me breastfeeding then pumping then giving him the pumped milk for a week...so now they have me on meds to increase my supply and I'm continuing to pump and supplementing the difference needed in formula. I've noted ds sleeps more often and longer...is this bc of the formula or could it be that he's just finally full? My ped wants him to have at least 4 oz but 5 oz is better (he does well at 4.5 but spits up tons at 5)!
