Hello,
Yes, your baby was overfed, good to decrease amount, but still needs to change as eight hourly, so that duration in between feeds can short. If weight controls on same then good, otherwise work up for a genetic condition, some syndrome will be required, as obesity is one of the features of some syndrome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
