Check out this milk calculator from kellymom. It bases it on how many times per day your lo nurses.

I have used that calculator, just as a comparison my lo at 9 weeks took about 4-5 ounces at a feeding.  What I did was make up 4 ounce bottles, then if he needed more used some from another bottle.  Hope that helps!
