I feed as much colustrum as they want the first two days, then after that I give them a few ounces, and feel their belly. You want it full but not tight. If it still feels a little 'not full' (it can be tough to gauge the first few times) then feed some more. Keep filling his belly until it feels pretty full, it's okay if you give him a bit too much once, and it gets tight, just give him less the next time.
Keep track of how much you end up giving him and make sure to feel his belly. If it feels perfectly full, then give him the same amount, if it feels a little tight, an ounce or two less, etc. You get the picture, good luck!
