Will baby be over fed?

my baby is 3 weeks old this week. I do not have sufficient breastmilk so supplement with formula. I have noticed that this week, he seems to get hungry faster or every other hour he will show signs of hunger such as sticking his tongue out or licking his hand. for such case, will give him additional 30ml of formula but sometimes he still shows sign of hunger after drinking. will baby be overfed? On good times when I have pumped enough breastmilk, will give him ard 70-80ml, whereas formula we are giving 60ml. is it insufficient?

The baby could be going through a growth spurt which is normal. Feed as per demand. Every baby is different.:)

im not sure if latching him (with insufficient breastmilk) and supplement with formula thereafter is messing up his feeding. as i don know in total how much he drank.
