DreamBabies don't question your milk supply his feeding sounds pretty normal to me, it is very draining though!! Georgia feeds every 2hrs through the day, sometimes more and will sometimes go 3 hours at night if I'm lucky. Wet and dirty nappies are a much better tool to see if you don't have enough milk. If he is having plenty of nappy changes and growing well your milk is just fine. DS3 fed every hour for about the first 3 months and every 2 hours at night (on an average night) for months! They're all different, but I am sure your milk is just fine.
I was hopeless with a manual pump! My sister lent me her Medela electric with DS3 and it was heaps better. It still took me ages to get a decent amount though, I had heaps of milk but expressing just didn't work to get lots out at once for me. The one I had was just a base model not the Swing, I've heard good things about the swing.
You're doing a great job, hang in there it will get easier. I'm feeling for DS3 here too. He looks so sad sometimes and he has a cold as well and I felt so bad not being able to give him the attention he's used to
I really need to make some time for one on one with him, I miss him too
