I haven't tried this but it makes sense.

After your "done" you should pump an extra 5-10 minutes on each side. It tells your body, to produce more milk.

That's really seemed to help while I BF my DD.

I am taking more milk plus, eating oatmeal, drinking Gatorade, I've tried power pumping and today I increased the strength on my pump. I finally got a normal amount for myself after 3 days of serious reduction (not even 1/4oz each time!).

I also think it's also related to how hydrated I am!

I've heard about pumping after. I've also heard to take alfalfa supplements. I would encourage you to talk to your local breastfeeding center though. I know we had one with free appts and help through our hospital.

Pump when you are done. Mixing pumping with hand expression also helps to increase milk supply. There was someone here who had an amazing link the other day about how to increase supply from Stanford University I think... I'll see if I can pinpoint the link. There was video help that went with it.
