I feed as much as they want without pushing them to eat for teh first 4 weeks or so. I cut them back to 3 feedings a day at 4 weeks still pretty much all they want. At about 6 weeks I start cutting them off before they are full to encourage them to eat.
They probably haven't pooped yet because they don't have diarrhea anymore. You may want to give an enema just to be sure they don't get constipated. You can also stimulate them to poop by wiping their behinds with a damp paper towel or wash cloth (like mom licking...). Babies of all kinds often need to be stimulated to poop.
