The more u pump, the more milk u will produce.
If u start using formula, only then your supply will decrease
Pumping as such doesn't decrease any supply
Also try to latch baby as well

Good morning
In long term direct sucking of baby maintains milk for long run than expressing through pump.
Try to latch the baby at your breast.
If he gets used to bottle in long run baby develops a condition called nipple confusion which makes baby feel more difficult to suck at breast.
