How much should I be producing?

My baby is in the NICU right now so I am just pumping, which has the unfortunate side effect of me knowing exactly how much I can get from just pumping ( i know this doesnt correlate to how much i could get if i was breastfeeding).

I have been pumping for a week now every 3 hours for 10 mins each side and produce about 40ml or CCs during that time which is the amount she is being fed through tube right now. Im worried because they keep uping how much she is giving and I dont know that i can get past 40mls per session.

Is this a low amount? There are no lacation consultants at my hospital. I just want to keep up my supply so that i can breastfeed when she is ready!
