Pumping won't reduce milk supply but it is not as effective as when the baby is suckling. Hence the low milk secretion. To increase milk supply, first and foremost be stress free. Think good thoughts about your baby. Have plenty of fluids and a well balanced diet. U can also take Shatavari powder or tablets. Adding coconut, fennel seeds, fenugreek, edible gum to your diet help. Most of all the more u breastfeed your baby, better will be your milk supply. It is simply a demand supply thing
