Has she tried expressing from one side when baby latched on other? Found that upped my flow considerably...

Key thing for you to tell her is that the amount she gets expressing is NOT the same as the baby gets feeding directly. Her dd will be getting a lot more bf-ing than she will be able to express and this is entirely normal.
You/she could have a look at http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/pumping_decrease.html this for guidance on what to expect when expressing.
Good luck to her
