Coughing and puking is not because of overflow, it's because of Aspiration. Usually caused by wrong position. Incorrect or incomplete latching also is due to incorrect position.
Next Steps
kindly fix position of feeding

Hello madam, There is nothing like over secretion , it's just may be due to wrong posture your baby may aspirate . 1. Use braziers to avoid heaviness of breast. 2. Don't feed your baby based on time, feed her / him whenever hungry . 3. Kindly consult for detailed discussion about breast feeding techniques , do's  and donot.
