I water my seedlings with a atomizer a few (3 or 4) sprays on the soil and a spray on the plant....this is a rough guide...because,,I don't really measure the amounts...I do that everyday if the pots are small...you really need to check the state of the soil by putting your finger in the dirt about an inch or so...if its damp or wet they are fine but if its dry give them a drink....hope this helps

Seedlings don't use much water at all. When you water, do it thoroughly, til it runs out the container holes, then I drain mine on an angle, also very thoroughly.
Don't water a little bit at a time. This causes problems.
Feel the weight of the pot after it's drained. When it needs water, it'll be much lighter.
Much better to under water than to over water.
Learn to water by need, not by schedule. Things change and water needs depends on these changes.

im keeping soil for seedlings moist all the time.
you cant overwater seedlings as far as i know. just dont make swamp in your pot and everything will be alright.
when you see water coming out of bottom holes - stop watering - pour out water if its too much.
seedlings arent strong and they dont hold much water inside them thats why its easy to underwater them.

^i keep mine cool and dark with a success rate that approaches 100% but i always thought warm dark and humid would make it quicker.
warm and dark. and higher humidity.

A Good trick I used when i was growing in soil was I had a cheap digital bathroom scale, Weigh it wet, then let it completely dry... Weigh it dry. As long as your soil mix and pots are the same size you can weigh just one and determine how much water all your plants need.

Obviously after a couple weeks you can go on a schedule, but its good to know in the beginning. Especially if your experimenting with new soil mixes or new ventilation or have added a dehumidifier, Or basically anything that will drastically change the humidity in the room. I always would check going into flowering. Whenever the plant cycle changes its watering needs change. Same is true with the environment.
