insufficient bm... should i just stop?

im into post partum 1 month. my bm at each pump session averages 50ml only. my baby already can drink 100ml at every feed, even before reaching 1m. tried eating fenugreek pills & even fennel essential oil, latching but no increment of bm. especially disappointed when still have to pump every 3hours for that miserable amount of bm. should i just stop? how else to increase bm?!

Try feeding baby half feed by bottle, and finish off by latching. Continue pumping and one power pump a day. I only managed to breastfeed exclusively when baby was 1.5 mths. Used to pump only 30ml per session. Seek for the help of a lactation consultant maybe?
