what is the age of your baby? if he is less than 6 months old then try feeding as frequently as possible this leads to increase in milk supply. you should also drink water around 3 to 4 litres a day. giving formula milk may fill up your baby for sure due to which he will suck less and the vicious cycle will begin to reduce BM even more. otherwise formula milk won't harm the baby once consulted with your pediatrician.

@leela sucking breast is much easier then sucking nipple ...babies generally find it difficult.. so try hard if he get ur bf ...if ur feed is not sufficient then only try formula
