Fun Fact: cc


All my life I have heard people use the term "cc" and I never knew what was. Today, that has changed.

In case you're like me and you didn't know, a "cc" is cubic centimeter.
1 cc = 1 milileter (ml)
1 cc = 1 gram
30 cc = 1 ounce

"David has been consuming between 40 and 60 ccs of formula at each feeding."

Look at me, I even used it in a sentence.

Actually, 1cc is not necessarily 1 gram. In medical terms it depends on the concentration. Say children's motrin often comes in a concentration of 12.5mg/mL(CC).

But SI definition of a gram is the amount of mass 1mL (cc) of water has at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
