Boosting Daytime Supply

I am wondering if I am doing the right things to boost my daytime supply.  I have noticed since the beginning that I tend to feel like I have less milk during the day than at night, when I seem to have an abundance.  I usually only would pump at night since DH gives a bedtime bottle(so I would pump while he feed) and then LO block feeds at night(so I would pump the opposite side during the night).

So since I have an over abundance at night I have tried to cut out the midnight pumping(and having LO not block feed anymore so I don't get engorged) and add in a pumping in the morning after LO nurses to try and boost my supply during the day.  

Is adding a morning pump in the right thought process to help boost my supply during the day?  Should I add in more pumping sessions during the day?  If I add in pumping sessions during the day to help boost my supply how do I avoid feeling like I don't have enough milk for LO to then nurse on demand? 

ETA:  I have tried Fenugreek to boost supply but it hasn't seemed to help over the last month.
