Breastfeeding

My baby was born at 32 weeks prematurely. I had asked you several questions about him before, and you explained everything very clearly. Thank you so much. Now I have a question about breastfeeding. My breast milk supply is better than before, but I’m not sure whether it is enough for my baby. Since he was in the NICU and was underweight, I have been breastfeeding him first and then giving him formula milk. He usually takes around 60 ml of formula every 3 hours. I breastfeed him before every formula feed. When I express milk by hand, I get around 5–10 ml. I don’t get much milk when I use a breast pump either. So, I would like to know approximately how much breast milk my baby might be getting when he breastfeeds. Also, should I continue giving formula after breastfeeding, or can I reduce or stop the formula at some point? Please suggest what would be best for him. His b wt 2.16,current wt 3.38. He is 1 month 24 days old
