How old is your baby? if she's still a puppy at 2 1/2 lbs she needs to eat about 10%(or more depending on her body structure) of her body weight. if she's an adult its 2-3%. I have a 4.5 lb, 2 year old and she gets 3oz a day. I also have a 3.5lb 5 month old and she gets 5oz plus NV instinct kibble whenever she wants. this girl can eat, and she's still skinny. i use the feeding guide on the NV site and go from there. i feed a little more then what they tell me because my girls are slim and very active. i also watch their weight so if i think their getting too skinny or too fat i adjust the amount appropriately.

As for treats, i give Yorkie Yummies most of the time. anything else i give has to have human grade ingredients and no garbage.
