NOoooooooooooooo never hand feed a peke, it is a habit they pick up on so quickly, and never let it go afterwards.

First of all pekes should be seperated while they are eating as most of them are food aggressive with others around.
So feed the little one in a pen or kennel or another room while you feed the older one in her normal place of eating.

Just go back to their normal food but seperate them, the older one feels threatened that the puppy will steal her food, so dont upset her, she was there first and must be fed as per normal, the puppy should be seperated from her as not to bother her while they eat. And do not hand feed either one of them, this is the worst habit you can teach them.
