Expressing tips for milk donation

I just searched some old threads about milk donation but couldn’t find any specific advice.

I’ve just starting collecting for my local milk bank. I’m trying to express once a day at the same time- but this is proving difficult as DD (5 months) wants a few feeds in the morning and has her main nap in the afternoon. I usually express then but I don’t always get that much.

Should I just keep expressing at the same time each day and my body will catch up? Anyone done this before and got into a routine?

I express for the milk bank too. Usually first thing in the morning, unless my baby has been up feeding more than usual.
I put the TV on for my toddler and baby either feeds on the other side or plays on the mat/in the bouncer.
I don't get chance every day, but try to as often as possible. I figure, every little helps!

Thanks! Didn’t think of feeding on the other side, but I’d definitely get more that way!
