Just keep trying. Sometimes you feel like nothing is coming out but it is. But if you wait, it will just dry up. Keep on letting him suck directly instead of a pump. That will help to lubricate things which triggers the breast to produce. Try to avoid the pump for now. Also, if it bleeds or dries up, breast milk is the best thing to bring healing.
Food that will help in milk production: high omega 3 foods with high content of good oils or good fats, i.e. salmon belly, avocado, etc. because milk is mostly made of fats.
Salmon belly is cheaper than the rest of the salmon because they have bones but their oil content is also so high that nobody really enjoys eating it. Due to the high oil content, just fry it on a non-stick without adding any cooking oil. Add salt and slices of citrus for flavour. They will turn sweet and their tartness will make the salmon more palatable so you can eat in larger quantities without getting tired of eating too much.
