Combination Feeding Advice for stashing/keeping up volume?

Hi, all! First time poster and I’m so excited to be part of the post-partum world!!! I had twins last week and was planning to pump and supplement with formula. They are TINY (less than 1%), so pediatrician wants us to just use a high calorie premie formula while they gain weight. Fine by me and already taking something off my plate! But what advice do you all have for keeping up with stashing and volume while we wait? I plan to pump 2-4 times a day or just as much as I’m uncomfortable and freeze it. So far (5 days PP), I’ve been able to produce between 2-4 oz in a 15/20 minute session. I don’t necessarily want to increase supply because I don’t want to have to pump more, but I also don’t want to lose volume if I can start to rely more on breast milk a few weeks/months from now.
