Default 1 week old pups...one is really small

hi, my parents' yorkie just gave birth last satrday. unfortunately, the last baby, a boy, died the next day. he and his older sister were the two smallest out of 5 pups. The three oldest ones are growing like they are supposed to, but the youngest girl is still tiny. She has the thinnest legs and arms and little head. She is half the size of the oldest and biggest puppy. I make sure she eats every two hours....she has a hard time finding and getting on the nipple, but once she's on it, she won't let go and sucks hard. She eats the longest out of all of them, like she know that she needs the nutrition. I worry about her. Did anyone else have this experience? How long until she starts gaining alot of weght and becomes similar to her chubby siblings??? Oh and she cries sometimes too when she wants to be touched when her mom is not in thier bed...when i pet her or hold her she stops crying.
