Confussed with feeding

[evader]

We are due to bring our new cockapoo puppy (Callie) home on Thursday. She is 8 weeks old and I have a couple of questions concerning feeding.

I picked up some Blue Buffalo Natural Chicken and Oatmeal food for her (on the recommendation of the person at the pet food store). I've read a couple of posts that say puppies should be feed twice a day and I remember reading one that said 3 times a day.

When I look on the package though it says once a day and for her age group (1-3 months) she should only get 1/8 to 1/4 of a cup.

:confused:

I just read the instructions on the package online here:

It says feed 3 times day until 6 months old, then twice a day at 6-12months old.

thanks

we are all pretty excited that's for sure. My wife who has never been much of an animal person (she has allergies) might be more excited than the kids are to get Callie home.
