Some people just do 3 times a day for all ages,

I like to try to do 4 times a day for atleast the first week. but that can be hard for me to do, then I cut back to 3 times a day.

I am not sure on the amounts for a pygmy, since I have full-size.

but I would say, just about as much as they will eat that feeding, with out looking miserable and bloated afterwards.

A full size breed would be getting near 20 oz 3 times a day by the time they are 3 or 4 weeks old.

someone else will jump in and give you better advise.
