Pumping - Stimulation vs. Expression mode? (Also on 0-3)

I have the Medela Freestyle.   My question is: After your first let down is finished do any of you switch to stimulation mode, then back again or just leave the pump on exp. mode?  Same with after a possible second let down?  Wondering what you ladies have had luck with?  I have just been leaving my pump on exp. mode the entire time and realized today that I may be just be wasting my (precious) time! 

Currently: I am trying to increase supply (right now at 19-21oz daily) and EP for about 5-6 feedings and BF for 1-2 daily.  First let down is at about 30 sec and is over within 3-5  min, then sometimes I have a second let down at 13-17 minutes.  I appreciate any feedback...TIA!

    I never did... I coudn't let down on command when I hit the button.

    I would just notice more milk spraying in the shields.
