Need help with supplementing

Need help with supplementing

I have been exclusively pumping to feed DS for 6 weeks. As he gets bigger and needs more, I am worried that I won't have enough to feed him. I am just keeping up with him now. I need to start supplementing him with some formula. How do I do this? Should I start by adding an ounce of formula to his bottle or should I keep them in separate bottles? Or am I thinking about this all wrong? I have no idea where to start.
Thanks so much! Any advice would be appreciated.

When I weaned my son I put the formula right into the breast milk. he was on 8 ozs breastmilk then, replace 1 oz with formula weekly until we were down to all formula.
