Welcome to BottleScan! The idea is simple. Keep track of your baby's bottles. How much milk is in the fridge? When was the last feeding? When was this bottle filled?

Use the QR code scanner already built into your iPhone's Camera app. Scan when you fill. Scan when you feed. No trying to find the app hidden somewhere among your home screens while holding a hungry crying baby. Low effort means a system that's easy to stick to. The labels are Dishwasher / Baby Brezza safe. Stick 'em on, and they stay. They also come with human-readable names so you can tell bottles apart at a glance. Labels at https://bottlescan.etsy.com
