Kittens should be gaining about 10 grams on average per day, and it seems like the kitten you're feeding is gaining steadily each day which is good, along with the healthy passing of stool. I would continue as you are doing, making sure the kitten appears full enough with each feeding and that weight gain continues daily. As the kitten gets older, this guide can help with formula feeding amounts, weaning to a solid food, problems to watch out for, and more to help Kitty grow up healthy: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/
