About the bath, I wouldn't do that the first day I get the puppy, just because it another trauma on top of the one being separated from her mom and littermates. You can use a little baby powder (talc) on her, and comb her gently, let her shake it off. She will smell better and it actually cleans them, as the talc absorbs any fatty dirts that are on the puppy. It's also recommended if she gets dirty not long after a bath when she's older, and you don't want her to have another bath so soon.
You would want to give her the first bath 3-4 days after getting her. Also, to make it a pleasant experience, I sang to Chloe and said a lot of good girl when she was calm, petted her a lot. Try not to get water near her ears, and you can also use cotton balls to stuff her ears with not to get them wet. The face you can do with a wet cloth, not direct water stream.
About feeding, follow what the food bag says, divide it to 3-4. It is usually based on the puppy's age and weight.
If you are going to feed her something different than what the breeder fed her, do the transfer gradually, that way her stomach won't be traumatised.
We're here if you need more help.
