Why do you think that?
Babies need hydration too, and she's very likely hitting a growth spurt.
It is very unlikely that a baby used to it's feeding method would eat too much. Sometimes in a switch- booby babies that are fed formula at first sometimes eat too much just because the delivery method is different. But this isn't the case from what you describe.
I wouldn't worry- you've got a growing baby there
UPDATE: BTW I noted from another post of yours that you're also trying to get the breast in there once in a while... Now's the PERFECT time to introduce that as much as possible. Feed her off the breast as much as she'll take, then feed her formula. That will help bring your milk in, and she won't probably get bored with it as she's in a growth spurt and eating like crazy
