Going back to breast feeding

Hi
I breast fed and expressed milk for my little girl for the first 4-5 weeks but used SMA to top up as found milk decreased slightly. She’s now 15 weeks and on 5-6 4oz bottles per day. Shes now got eczema:( I still produce milk but fast disappearing:/ Due to eczema and doctor not willing to help I want to attempt to regain milk supply and feed her myself more to see if it helps her?! Has anyone managed whose milk is significantly decreased to literally a few drops when squeezed!! To gaining a decent supply again? Just after advice to see if it’s worth a try. I do have an Avent electric & manual pump but nothing really comes out with those I have to really squeeze end of boobs 😬
I know it seems a strange idea but just want to help my little lady and see if it makes a difference. It’s tricky as I’ve got her to run around after as well as a 16 year old son ( doesn’t like seeing my boobs obviously so I’m always having to hide! A 1/ year old and an 8 year old!!
Thanks in advance for any tips 😊
