BFing/formula

My LO will be 6 months on Tuesday and is EBF. I'm thinking about mixing a little formula into the mix. His sleep is shit and I am so tired so a little help for MOTNF would be so helpful. I don't want to start BFing though. Am I crazy to think this will work? Everything I've ever heard is once you start supplementing with formula your supply drops. Any other mamas so both?

    I've been mixing in 1 oz of formula with 4 oz of BM with her DC bottles, my supply seems fine

    @Rrrrrachel‌ that is helpful. He was up every hour last night and I think I'm getting mastitis. So I'm getting desperate. I absolutely love BFing so I really don't want to stop but I'm getting a little burnt out.

    @LalaMama81‌ I have been nursing him like crazy especially on that side. Also with hot showers. Thanks ladies. I really appreciate the input.

    I know it's exhausting. My daughter was up every 2-3 hours until she was almost two! That's pretty extreme, though. Hang inthere. Hopefully he cuts you some slack soon.
