Pumping breast milk

How much breast milk do you all manage to pump out per session? And how long does it take? I seem to be able to pump out only 30ml for both breasts and it takes about ½ hour. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m using the Spectra M1. It doesn’t seem to be pumping out much. Most of the milk comes from me compressing my breasts. My baby is 4 weeks old fyi.

I am an exclusive pumper. During the first few days of pumping, it was also a dissappointment as my yield was similar to yours. So i started to pump every 2/3 hours, and i noticed that it started to increase gradually. I hv always stick to a 20 mins pumping per session. Now at 2.5 months, i am able to get like up to 120 to 180ml altogether per session. I recc using a double breast pump and yes ensure u got the correct flange size. Also, do try to consume more lactation food, like oats, veggies, etx, hope it helps.
