Cindy,

About 2 ounces (60 cc's) an hour is what is often recommended. But you'll need to use your own judgement as well here because you do not want to overfeed him as this will cause bloat and could induce Floppy Kid Syndrome. Personally I would administer the 2 ounces, wait about an hour, give a little more, but not an entire 2 ounces again. Check his belly for bloating. If he seems to be maintaining a good form (for being full), adjust the amount he gets accordingly. Of course, if he is nursing on his own, let him naturally get his dose of milk. Please keep us posted.

Best regards,

Gary Pfalzbot
