I agree with Siren, breastfed babies don’t overeat, if they’re fussy in the night offer the breast as chances are they’re having a growth spurt. They need to feed more to make your supply match their appetite

Babies can NOT overeat. Breastfed babies grow very quickly during the first 3 months of life and then their growth slows to match that of a formula fed baby. That’s why the CDC and WHO growth charts don’t match up. One uses formula fed babies in their model, the other uses breast fed babies as their standard.

Babies certainly can overeat. My first fussed a lot so I nursed her every two hours. By 3 months, she blew up in size. First time mom mistake. Feeding is not always the answer to fussing.
