Record what a child ate or drank using Food for meals and snacks, and Bottle for amounts provided and consumed.

Workflow: Select children → Food or Bottle → Record actual amounts → Save and check

1. Choose the children and open Food

On Today, select the child or children who share the same meal details, then tap Food. Review the children listed in the form.

2. Record the meal and amount eaten

Choose the food type shown, such as Breakfast, Lunch, Snack or Dinner. Select None, Some, Most or All for amount eaten, or leave Not recorded when the amount is unknown. Add notes, media or learning goals if relevant.

Food type and Amount eaten are separate fields. Not recorded is different from None.

3. Check the time and save the meal

Scroll to the event time, check it, then tap Save. If children ate different amounts, create separate entries for those children rather than applying the same amount to the group.

4. Use Bottle for bottle feeding

Return to Today, select the intended child and tap Bottle. Enter the amount Provided and the amount Consumed, using the ounces fields or quick picks shown. Choose the milk type when known.

Provided and Consumed are separate amounts. Use the unit shown in the form.

5. Finish and verify the feeding entry

Add relevant notes, check the time and save. Open the child’s Activity report to confirm the correct meal or bottle details. Correct a mistake through History.

Before you finish

• Food logging describes what happened during the child’s day. Menu planning, meal orders and kitchen participation are separate workflows.

• Do not treat an unknown amount as zero consumed.

• Bulk entries use shared details; individual feeding quantities usually need separate records.
