Going from Combo to EBF- is my baby hungry?

Hello lovelies. Going from combo fed to EBF. The day before yesterday we only had 8 total oz formula (2 oz bottles) to top her off, yesterday she had 3oz at 9 am and thats the last shes had!! We haven’t done bottles at night for a while, only BF.

I have just been latching her like crazy. I am so worried she is hungry and Im unaware. Surely she would cry or seem unhappy right?? She does smack lips some but she kinda does that anyway. Super happy and alert and enough wet diapers. I keep thinking even if she needs a little more if I latch her a ton then in a day or so she would definitely be getting plenty but I cant stand the thought of her being hungry. She chews on her hands literally constantly no matter how much shes had so I cant use that as an indicator either.

I planned on EBF from beginning just didnt work out that way for us but Im thinking we definitely can now! Pumps wont pull milk from me no matter the flange size. Only when I was engorged did it work.
