Trying to preserve breastfeeding while supplementing with formula

So, I've had a bit of a shit start to feeding. Fed constantly for hours a day for about 7 weeks then finally had a tongue tie diagnosed and cut. I thought things had improved but weight gain still terrible. Added 4 oz formula a day at 8 weeks and he put on 250g the first week of supplementing but only 100g this week. I've been advised to double the supplement to 8 oz a day.

I'm really hoping to maintain some sort of breastfeeding with him, is that realistic? Is there anything particular I should be doing other than feeding often?
