My Baby is underweight. The doctor has now suggested I start formula milk as well. She is 10 months old. Intake of formula milk is very low. Can I add it in her porridges in place of lukewarm water?

Q. I've been breastfeeding as well as formula feeding my one week old baby since delivery. But my doctor said the baby is dehydrated and asked to increase the intake of formula milk which resulted in the baby becoming fussy to drink breast milk. I tried hard and somehow made breastfeeding successful and gave few teaspoons of formula milk towards the end of feedin so that she would sleep peacefully. however, when I tried to stop formula milk abruptly, she drinks breastmilk well but doesn't sleep until formula milk is fed. How to change this habit?
