I put warm compresses on my breast then pumped and sometimes even a hot shower with a hand pump.

Best thing is lots of water and relaxation and latching the baby instead of the pump when at all possible. Worrying about production will tense you up, make sure you consciously relax (close your eyes drop your shoulders deep breaths) and it helps enormously with letdown. If you drink peppermint tea or use anything with peppermint - stop right now!

They have breast feeding tea and also cookies that help with your supply.  Look up the recipe, I don't have it.

Pumping works and I'd also drink the mother's milk tea and eat oatmeal. Keep hydrated
