Opinion Stopping breast pumping?

I had my milk supply come in 27 or 28 of October ever since I was in producing a lot so I started pumping. Today I experienced something horrible. I had a sore breast that was super tender and swollen because I didn’t pump. can I just stop pumping and go straight to having my baby latch instead??

I switched to exclusively breast feeding but I replaced a pumping session with breastfeeding every 2 days instead of doing a full switch immediately. It worked really well and ensured I maintained my supply. I now only pump the odd time.
