feeling depressed

i am 6 dpp and am currently pumping 60ml per pump. I tried direct latching for 5 days and its killing me - baby not latching well due to short nipples. is pumping 60ml too little? my S1 just died on me, is there any good comparable pump to recommend?

How frequent do you pump? 60 is a lot for 6 dpp https://kellymom.com/hot-topics/pumping_decrease/

I try to pump every 3 to 4 hourly round the clock as I also direct latch baby in between. First 5 days I had been latching on demand, sometimes as long as 1 hour or as frequent as every hourly. However the CL wanted to top up baby with expressed bm or fm after every latch. I am having a hard time catching up. ☹
