She's about the same age as Rhett (he was born 1/22). I've been feeding him 3 times a day, 7a.m.-1 p.m. -7p.m. My vet has said he's big enough to go to 2x/day, so we will be working on that. We've never had any problems with hypoglycemia, but he's a bigger boy (6+ lbs).

How big is your little girl? Not all yorkies will have problems with hypoglycemia, but the smaller they are, the more likely they are to be at risk for them. It's a good idea to become aware of the risk factors and signs so you can be prepared, just in case.

I don't free- water while I'm potty training, but I do offer it every hour. Sometimes he wants it, most of the time he doesn't, but it does give me a good idea that if he does drink, we'd better head outside in about 15 minutes.

Congrats on your new baby. Mine is the love of my life.
