Pumping/breastfeeding/supply

Hi! I am feeling a bit defeated. I am 3 weeks pp. been pumping every 3-4 hours since one week pp. last week I was producing 2-2.5 oz combined in one pump session. Not a lot, I know, but better than the 40ml I am producing steadily this week. What gives?! I know so much could be at play. But is this normal? NOTHING has changed about what I’ve been doing or how I’ve been pumping/living. Is a drop at 3 weeks standard? Ultimately, what can I do to bring it up? I pump MON, so usually 2-3am and again at 5-6am. And then again 3 hours later. I pump when baby takes a bottle. I am also practicing latching him for 5-10 mins each side as I’m trying to transition to breastfeeding. We didn’t have a favorable start at birth. Thank you for any tips/insight. I just want to know my supply is not going to turn into dust. I’ve put a lot of tears, time, and milk into this journey so far…
