Supplementing confusion - help?!

Twins are 6 weeks old. The nurse said to give one bottle of formula before bed so I could get extra sleep. But also said I need to pump….i left the appt and didn’t think twice about it. Now I’m wondering,
if I need to pump how do I get extra sleep?

Will feeding 1 bottle of formula to my twins per day ruin my supply? It’s been three days of doing this and now I’m panicking.

To add on, my Mom is convinced they need to be formula fed because they’re so fussy. She’s convinced I don’t have enough “fat” in my milk. That’s what her doctor told her 🙃 To be honest, I don’t believe this but it’s making me feel insecure.

I need to keep up this bottle thing for sleep but is pumping really my only option, and how does that help?! 😞
