Hi, and congratulations 😉
First thing you must do, if you have not done yet, is call a good licensed vet and schedule a "wellness" check ASAP.
It is like a pediatrician for a puppy, you want to have someone to coach about vaccines, routine care and the eventual unexpected question or help if an incident happens. You also will feel secure about the puppy's health care.
For now, at 8 weeks old, the puppy should be free fed, meaning, have access to food and water all the time. This helps prevent "hypoglicemia", a concern on small breeds.
One way to keep track of the eating of your pup is every morning measure one cup of the dry food, put it into the bowl, next morning put the left over back into the measuring cup, you will know the days your puppy eats more or less.
Now, this is if you are feeding dry kibbles.
Some days puppies eat more, some days less, and the weight of your puppy also affects the feeding need / ratio.
Enjoy your new baby !
Blessings .
