# Log a bottle of breast milk or formula

Tap Bottle on Home, choose Breast milk or Formula, set the amount and tap Save Bottle. To time the feed instead, switch the form to the timer.

## Log a bottle after it happened

1. On Home, tap **Bottle** .
2. Under **Contents**, tap **Breast milk** or **Formula**.
3. Set the amount. Tap a preset, use the plus and minus buttons, or tap the number to type it.
4. If the feed was earlier, tap **Now** next to **When** and pick the time.
5. Tap **Save Bottle**.

The form opens with the contents you chose last time, so a family that always uses formula taps less.

## Time a bottle feed

1. Open **Home** , **Bottle** and tap the timer button at the top right, or **Switch to timer** at the foot of the form.
2. Tap **Start Feeding**. The amount stays under the timer, so you can set it now or later.
3. When your child is done, tap **Stop Feeding**.
4. Check the amount and the times, add a note if you want, and tap **Save Bottle**.

Cami remembers which way you logged last. Next time, the form opens on the timer or on manual entry to match.

A running bottle timer shows on Home, and everyone in your family sees it. Any of you can stop it and save it.

## Milliliters or ounces

Tap the unit under the amount (**ml** or **oz**) to switch. The switch changes the unit on this iPhone everywhere in Cami. You can also set it in **More** , **Settings** , **General** , **Volume**.

In Cami 1.2: the unit is in More › Settings › Volume unit.

Cami stores every amount the same way, so your partner can use ounces while you use milliliters, and you both see the same bottle.

**Note**

Cami records what your child drank. It does not say how much is right. Ask your pediatrician about amounts.

## Troubleshooting

### Cami asks me to end the sleep first

If a sleep is running when you tap **Start Feeding**, Cami asks **End the sleep?**. Tap **End it and start** to save the sleep and start the bottle, or **Keep it running and start** to keep both going.

### I saved the bottle too early

Open the feed on the Timeline and tap **Reopen**. This works for a timed bottle for 15 minutes after you save it. See [Edit, reopen or delete an entry](https://camibaby.com/help/edit-delete-entries).
