Less milk while pumping

Question

Asked for Female, 28 Years

I am breastfeeding my baby and even after 1 hr baby cries of hunger, so giving formula. When I pump milk it's coming very low. I will let my baby suck each and every time but also milk is less. While pumping also I need to press the breast more for milk outflow because of larger breasts. I think while baby sucks also milk is not coming because I could not able to squeeze the breast. Please advise how to feed in this case
