Pups are too big imo, I'd say a small fuzzy, at about 9-12 grams is the right size.
With babies you can feed prey that is about about 10-15% of the snake's body weight.
I prefer to look at the widest point of the snake and feed prey about that size, but the 10-15% rule is good if you don't have prey to compare to, but it really only works for young bps.
After starting out with rat fuzzies, I always move mine to rat pups as they get towards 100 grams. I currently have two just under 100 grams that are taking rat pups without problems.

This is exactly what I mean! Anyway the fuzzies available to me are on the small end and don't leave any bump on her tummy which is why I'm thinking the next size up is the way I should go.
I would say rat fuzzies for 3 or 4 more meals than you can move her up to rat pups. My smallest male is at 120 grams and a 20-23 gram rat pup is good for him
