Default bf supplementation

I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge or advice on supplementaion.
My baby is less than 2 weeks old and can not get full. She weighed 10lbs 2oz at birth, so she is quite a chunk already. Her ped advised me at her first office visit I needed to supplement with formula to get her back to her birth weight. We did that and then stopped, but again it seems like she is not getting enough. She literally could eat all day. She will fall asleep on the breast but wake up when I try to unlatch her. Several people I know have suggested mixing a little cereal with the breastmilk, but I don't know. I just want to do what is best for my baby.
Any thoughts appreciated.
