Yes. Expressing milk/pumping on regular intervals can help.  

Make sure you pump 20-60 minutes after every feed & if possible right after feeding your baby. Pump for a minimum 20 minutes each session initially. Ensure all areas of both the breasts are mostly empty. 

⏭️You can massage your breasts and do some skin to skin with the baby to stimulate milk flow. 

⏭️Try finding a pump that fits you. Hands on pumping is also helpful if artificial pumps don't work for you. 

⏭️Pump more at night because prolactin levels are higher then. 

⏭️You can pump & feed at the same time. 
Make sure the atmosphere is warm & you're completely relaxed. 

⏭️Power pumping or cluster pumping for a few days before returning to normal pumping rituals can also be helpful. 

📍NOTE- The milk supply initially can be very less but keep pumping & record the amount each time, you'll surely notice the numbers rising. Focus on your diet & water intake. For further info consult a lactation consultant.
