Consumption of milk

Hi mummies, may I know how much milk should be given for a 6 days old infant? And the feeding interval? My confinement nanny seemed to be overfeeding my LO, but she said it is okay as some babies tend to drink more? As long as he cries, CN will deem fit my LO is hungry after checking that it is not due to dirty diapers. I cried so badly despite I told her he shouldn't be drinking 50ml every 2hrs..

At 6 days old, my baby drinks 40-60ML every 2-3 hourly (I feed on demand). If baby is throwing up in big amounts or larger amounts of spit ups during burps, then it’s over his limit.

won't it be too much to feed every 2hrs, unless is breastmilk? btw mine is fed formula milk so shouldn't be hungry so fast...
