I have similar experience as you.. almost one month postpartum and I only have 20-30ml per pump for 30mins every 3 hours . I eat fish like threadfin and salmon, papaya fish soup, lactation cookies, green vegetables, oat, Milo etc and even tried to let baby latch. But everything is useless.. sigh :(
