Hi Gayle
Congrats on your little one
In the first few months, it can be tricky to distinguish the cries. As far as overfeeding goes, that is mainly geared toward when moms feed the baby every time he/she cries. If you are feeding every 2-3 hours, then he is probably not overfeeding. However, if he seems to be crying after every feed I would check out the reflux board. That is one symptom of reflux. My babies never had it so not a lot of experience there, sorry.
How long is he awake before taking a nap? A typical 1 month old probably has an awake time of 45 minutes to 1 hour. If he's up longer, I would assume he is overtired. At this young of age, I would try to put him down for a nap after the first yawn, definitely no later than the third.
If you haven't read Tracy's 3rd book, I highly recommend it. It has a lot of problem/solutions. Her first book is more of an overview of her theories with some how to's. But the third is mostly all how to's. HTH
