As a new yorkie mom, a little amount of food seems like a lot cause they're so tiny and I don't want to overfeed her.

I am not really sure, but I would only give a small bite as a treat when your eating it. Too much fruit might give them the runs. Plus fruit does have a lot of sugar in it, especially banana's..

Lets see, Kaji likes watermelon (sometimes if it's sweet), strawberries, blueberries, pretty much anything "berry," tomato, bananas if he's in the mood, mango (LOVES IT), cucumber, the white part of the lettuce (he loves the crunch), carrots, apples, pears, and a few more I just can't think of. I know grapes are a no no, and onions, which I love so my food is off limits to him. He also loves milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. The fruits and veggies he has in moderation, and the dairy products are a once in a blue moon treat. He's not lactose intolerant so he really enjoys the occasional bit of cheese.

OP, how old is Charlie? How long have you had him?
If you hold out long enough, they will eat their food. Kaji sure knows how to guilt me into giving him some of my food by not eating his for a while. Now, he's learned kibble is his food, and since it's his favorite flavor (chicken) he eats it really well. Then again, he was one year old when I got him, so I don't recommend you do that with a little one.

Its good to know that our Kenzie can have a taste of apple every once in a while.
How bout ice cream? What kind of ice cream have your babies tried? Just want her to taste a bit, not the whole cup LOL

I do vanilla and only a teeny taste of it. I do like some of the sorbets because they're just fruit and ice. Read the labels so you know you're not giving them to much extra sugar. Like Mango sorbet, yum! The ingredients listed were just mango and ice, it was so yummy!
A slice of kiwi won't harm them either.
