7-5-3: is it after feeding?
Regarding pumping, there are many options:
- try 7-5-3 method, both sides; you pump 7min L side, then 7min R side, then 5min L side and so on and so on; altogether 30 min, 15 for each side
- just after feeding pump breast you where using for 10min even if there is no milk coming, you do not have to do it for every feeding, 4x a day would be enough, 2x for each side
For both methods it takes about 48h to increase milk supply.

Other methods are easier... Just feed your child more often or change sides 3-4times during a feed.
Also 48h should be enough to increase milk supply.
