I wouldn't be concerned that much if the baby was demand feeding at lib only. But with pumping and bottle feeding there might be an overfeeding issue. Some babies will drink whatever amount comes from a bottle and with mom having oversupply this may have been quite some extra. And this will, I suppose, have been mainly carbohydrate calories as well in oversupply-milk.
