Breastfeeding without pumping

Any mamas exclusively breastfeed without pumping at all? How do y’all manage if baby is not ready for a feed but your boob is feeling full?

I fully breastfeed for first 3 months (starting pumping only because I had to go back to work). I will wait for baby if it's close to feeding time. If there's still some time to go, hand express or pump some out just for relief. over time (quite fast), your breasts will get the message to reduce and regulate supply. Once regulated, you will produce based on demand and supply. no need to pump for relief. Unless you are a super over supply mum?

Thank you! Then how do you know if baby is having enough milk?
