You should remove any crickets in the morning. Crickets become adults in a matter of weeks, sometimes in hiding, then reproduce in virtually any substrate in almost unphatomable numbers.
The crickets selected should be able to fit horizontally in the specimens mouth. One or two every other day is fine for a baby. I wouldn't worry if it went on like that for less than a month and a half given that all other factors were normal like the temperature and humidity, light schedule and environmental stress factors like noise.
It is hard for young frogs to catch crickets sometimes, but it is important for development at this stage that they struggle a little for a meal.
