Pumping doesn't reduce supply. When done in right way, it stimulates the breasts like a real baby to get the right amount needed. Infact many women exclusively pump. Please connect with a lactation consultant. You might want to pump on a schedule and longer duration. I did the following after speaking to my LC - 3 min on massage, 7 minute on expression and repeat this for 3 sets, total 30 mins of pumping. I did this after every feeding until I established good supply. Now I have reduced pumping to 15min total and use it only to clear out the breasts after feeding when needed.
