Welcome to Yorkie Talk. One of my boys is allergic to flea saliva and reacts strongly to a single flea, so we understand your girl's pain.

I recommend taking your girl to the vet for a visit. Flea bites and lots of scratching and itching can lead to skin infections/hair loss. Plus, your poor baby needs relief. You can also discuss a flea preventative with the vet.

Be careful with over-the-counter anti-flea shampoos. They can aggravate infected skin and cause other problems. You can use regular dog shampoo. Just apply liberally and let sit for a minute or two before rinsing thoroughly.

Wash all bedding frequently and vacuum like crazy for weeks. If she had several or lots of fleas, they likely created lots of eggs that are going to keep hatching.

Best wishes for your baby.
