Great question! He should be getting around 55cc daily of formula, but it should be spread out in feeds throughout the day and night. He needs to be fed every two and half to three hours, and this includes the night. It's better to underfeed than overfeed, it's safer to give smaller amounts of formula in more feeds than several large ones. I will put a link below to a website that gives more advice on looking after orphan kittens. I hope this helps!
