Need help

Shanna • Huge family.
I'm going a little crazy. I consistently pump 1-4 ounces less than my baby drinks while I'm at work (during my 8 hour shift I pump between 12-14 ounces and he drinks around 13-16 ounces) I want to try to power pump for a few days to increase my supply, but my baby eats sooo often, that I'm afraid he won't get enough if I do this. He sleeps 6-7 hours strait at night (he's almost 5 months old) but during the day, he eats almost every hour. I know some of it is probably comfort nursing. If I get up at night during his long stretch of sleep to power pump, will it just increase my supply at night? Or will it increase my overall supply, and adjust to the times he nurses (and I pump when at work) during the day?
