Is there a reason why you think there is not enough? Many moms tandem nurse their children.
If you want to let her nurse, let her. Not only will there be enough she will boost your supply!
If you don't want her to, then just say no. It's completely normal, though.
Here is what kellymom says:
What if your older child asks to nurse?
It's pretty common for a toddler, or even an older child, to ask to nurse at some point after the new baby arrives. Many just want to know whether mom will say yes - they may also want to be held like a baby or "babied" in other ways. If given the opportunity to nurse, most children will simply touch or kiss the breast, giggle, and go play. Some moms prefer not to offer, but might offer breastmilk in a cup to taste, or simply distract the child with another activity. See What if a "weaned" child asks to nurse again?
for more on the subject.

my 5 yr old asked what it tasted like this morning, i was like i dont really know honey! she said i bet it tastes like grape milk lol, if she comes out and asks to try it then i will give her som in a cup, from what ive read its pretty normal, and your is even younger, but lots of moms give their children expressed milk ,not a big deal and theres no way your not producing enough to give her some in a cup!
