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.
