Puppy weight question

[HoneyChilds_Mom]

As a soon to be yorkie mommy I tend to worry about all kinds of stuff! My new concern is her weight, she's 3 weeks old and 16oz. Is that too much? Or is it just too early to say anything about that?
Her dad is 5lbs and her mom is 7,5lbs (she has gained 1-1,5lbs after having babies the first time)

I really don't wanna come off like a bad mom - but I'd like her to stay within the yorkie standard so she not exceeds 7lbs.

I hope you can tell me to relax and stop worrying!

I would say relax and stop worrying. Is she a singleton puppy? Puppies in small litters tend to get a bit chunkier because they have so much milk available. Some singleton puppies can get very over weight and it can be a concern but very difficult to do anything about it. Most puppies, once they start walking and eating kibble, will trim on down. You can tell more about what her size will be when she reaches 8 weeks.
