Hungry or just wants to suck?

How can I tell if my 3 1/2 week old is hungry or just wants to suck? I'm really worried I'm over feeding her but she seems to always take to the feed when I offer it. Shes formula fed and having about 3oz every 2 hours sometimes 30 minutes later she will elwant more to help get of to sleep. Shes not taking to a dummy either xxx

If she takes the feed, she needs it. You can't really overfeed a newborn . If she did just want to suck, the dummy would do
