How much breast milk should I feed my 9 day old baby?

Baby is fully on breast milk (I pump and bottle feed). In the 1st week I increased 5ml every day. Today I’m giving her 70ml per feed. Is this too much or alright? She tolerates it well currently and I plan to continue increasing 5ml everyday but I’m afraid her stomach is still too small. FYI baby girl’s weight is 2.5kg (last checked at 6 days old).

I cant rmb how much i was feeding my ger previously but there is actually a calculator for this for reference. I think the whole day intake is 150ml x baby’s current body weight. There was one period she kept on wanting to suck on stuff and we tot she was hungry n kept feeding. Luckily we went pd and pd said we r overfeeding. We did not add on 5ml every day fyi. Recent visit we asked pd when shld we increase and she said when baby starts to fuss ard 2-2.5h or smth then we may want to increase. Of coz different ppl differ.. so sharing for info only :)
