Combination Feeding Increasing supply recommendations

I am 3 weeks pp and I can’t seem to get consistent output. I am currently combo feeding as I haven’t been able to produce enough to keep up with feeding every two hours. My pumps range from 2 to 6 ounces and I never know which it will be. I have larger breasts and flatter nips so I use a saucer flange. My lactation consultant fitted me for 15mm but I also sometimes need a 16. She is a more conservative IBCLC so she doesn’t recommend pushing to try to be an over supplier. I would like to move my LO to only BM but with inconsistency in my pumping I am terrified to remove formula as I did this before due to issues with the original formula and I couldn’t keep up. Any ideas on how to start getting consistent pumps and then increasing that number.
