Hi Leanne , congrats on your new baby ! I bet she is adorable ! Her size sounds good , and wanting to be held all the time would be normal too . That is a very young puppy ! A food that comes in small breed puppy sized bites ( dry ) would be good . You can soften it with warm water while she is tiny . Something like Natural Balance is good But make sure that chicken is the first ingredient , not corn . Dogs are meant to eat meat , not grain . You don't want to scold for pee accidents at all ! Chis are very sensitive , you would likely scare her into having worse accidents . Pee pads is a good choice as she is so small . Give her a small space that is her own , With a bed and her food and water and Pee pads at the opposite end . You also want to feed her 3 or 4 times a day while she is so young , small amts . We would love to see pix !
