Default sleepy baby

This is my first time breast feeding and I'm starting to get a little fustrated.
My baby is 9 days old, I've been BF'ing her since day one, but also supplementing 1-2 times a day with formula. I think the main issue is that she is not staying awake long enough to get full. She goes on the breast and will feed for about 5 min then fall asleep. I take her off and 10 minutes later she is up and still hungry. I don't know if she falls asleep because she's not getting enough? Also, it's so difficult to wake her up after she falls asleep or keep her awake while she feeds.

Any advice?
