Based on the feeding guideline, he should get about 3/8 of a cup of food every 24 hours. If you feed him 4 times a day then you could divide that amount between the 4 feedings. As he gets older, he will need more food and you can follow the feeding guideline. You will also have to monitor his weight and adjust the food based on his growth and weight. If he is having trouble eating dry food then you can soften it with some water.
