Default Need help in bottle feeding schedule and how much?

I have offered to take in two two weeks Yorkie puppies and maybe 4 and I need some help in knowing a few things, have bottle feed before but its been many many years ago.

Mickey My male Yorkies breeder is taking care of her neighbors litter of 4 Yorkies, They let the momma out to potty and someone took her, they now have 4 babies that need bottle feed. they are about two weeks old. The breeder was caring for all 4 but being such a busy person she had to return two of them and the lady who owns them is a school teacher, she has been taking them with her to school so that she can feed them. I have offered to take the two she has and if all goes well maybe taking all 4 of them. That being said I need to know every thing there is to caring for them.

I know they need feed every 2-3 hours and they need to stay warm, I have a heating pad I can put under their box for warmth and know to keep it on low. I know I need to depoop and pee them , useing a warm wet cloth or cotton swab. what I dont know is at being about two weeks of age how much they need to eat at each feeding and how often do I get them to go potty? after each feeding but how about between feedings?
and any thing else that you can think of that I will need to do.
