Around 6-8 cc's would be ideal if you can get that much into them. I use any of the baby foods that are NOT mixed with other things. Like straight green breans, pears, squash, with nothing else in it (like those dinner kind are not good).

They definately sound VERY thin! Esp that 80g one!

I hope you can get them turned around!
