Pumping, what am I doing wrong?

I've been EBF since the little guy was born, he's now 14 days old. I tried to pump this last weekend just to get a tiny supply stash. I was able to get 2 oz combined an hour after I BF him one day. I tried to pump again yesterday while he was being fed his bottle. I was engorged so I thought I would def get a good number of oz. I couldn't even get 1 oz out of one breast, not sure what I'm doing wrong with the pump. I'm pretty sure it's user error, but I'm not sure where my error is. I'm using the Medela PISA. Any input is appreciated.

    Your flanges may not be the proper fit. Typically the ones that come with your pump are too small initially. Ameda has some great info on properly fitting flanges on the website that will work even with your medela pump.
