What is the real deal?
I am preparing for a breastfeeding class and wanted to include a set of 
"belly balls" to demonstrate the size of a newborns stomach.  I have two 
sets, one from Hollister (day 1 small marble, day 3 shooter marble, day 
10 ping pong ball) and another from Ameda (day 1 shooter marble, day 3 
ping pong ball, day 10 chicken egg).  They both have the same volume 
(day one 5-7 ml, day two 22-27 ml, day ten 60-81 ml).  There is an 
obvious discrepency in size of physical example.

I did a little experiment with water and a medicine dropper and it 
looked like 5ml would fit better in the shooter marble.  If this is 
correct, than even LLL has the wrong examples on their website.

Can anyone help clear this up?

Thanks,
Jeannine Jacobs, CLE
