breast milk and top up

Hi mummy, I'm curious what everyone journey is like. I have recently given birth and I'm at my 10th day. I have to top up with formula milk after 1 hour of latching. I'm wondering how long does everyone take to reach the stage where you produce enough breast milk to satisfy baby without top up.

I am in the same boat.. I’m on my 8th day PP. On the 3rd day PP, I noticed that my LO is hungry at short intervals (10-15 mins after latching even) and wondered if it is due to my lack of milk supply. So we decided to TOP up with FM. I try to pump as and when and am still struggling with milk supply (it is very inconsistent, sometimes 30ml sometimes 100ml) but with consistent pumping and I just bought supplements, hopefully it’ll help with supply.
