Might want to think about a good quality puppy food. No free feeding ( I learned that the hard way) Stick to scheduled feedings, not sure on portions. Check the packaging or ask your vet.

Now for mental stability... Please do not talk baby talk to you Yorkie ! In my opinion that does nothing for the dog. It hinders training and is just plain annoying. It is only for the benefit of the human. (I hope that I didn't hurt any feeling in the YT community) But you did ask.
Free feeding is normally best for pappies also some dogs do better being free feed. Talking baby talk to you dogs doesn't do any damage dogs like to be talked to weather its baby talk or regular talk.
