Two things..

There can be a big difference between what you can express and what she gets - expressing needs alet down reflex and it's less likely to come with a pump than a baby. So whne expressing do a bit of relaxation, close your eyes and think milk.

Also

You and DD may be in perfect harmony. What she needs you produce - no spares available.

In that case you have to express l;ittle and often(after every feed?) to kid your body that your DD wants more. Then in 2-3 days your milk supply may well rise a little.

i find that dd doesn't take as much from a bottle as i think she takes from me. it's just enough to get by i think because she never goes as long after a bottle before wanting another feed
