First of all, congrats on your new baby. You've already gotten some great advice on looking after your little one.
2. as little and young as your baby is, I would maybe make sure to have some kind of tshirt over her, especially if you have air conditioning going as she can get a chill. Also make sure she has a safe, warm and quiet place to go to.
3. Nutrical is great to have on hand for emergencies. I would not use it all the time. It's like super vitamins in a tube. Per your vet, continue with the baby food. Did he/she recommend any of type of puppy dog food maybe watered down? I would for sure ask him about that as puppy food has vitamins and fats that puppies need for developement. I am sure that your vet would have mentioned to make sure that the baby food you are giving does not contain onion powder.
4. Yes, grooming kinds of things can wait until your baby is much older and adapts to her new surroundings. You do not want to overwhelm her with learning too much and have to deal with too much at such a young age. She's got so much more to deal with than having to have a bow in her hair. All of that will happen in time but it's much more important for her to get well and socialized in her new home.
It sounds as though you are on your way to being a great yorkie mom. Just keep an open mind and an open line of communication. There is so much to learn about these little ones and YT can offer so much knowledge. Congrats on your addition.
