# Log meals, first foods and reactions

Tap Solids on Home, add each food from the list or type your own, set how much and how it went, and save. Turn on Noticed a reaction if you saw one.

One entry is one meal, with as many foods as you need.

## Log a meal

1. On Home, tap **Solids** .
2. If the meal was earlier, tap **Now** next to **When** and pick the time.
3. Under **Foods**, tap **Search or add food**. Pick a food from the list, or type a name and tap the row that adds it. Cami then shows the food’s details: choose how much and how it went if you want, and tap **Done**.
4. To add more, tap **Add another food**. Foods you logged before also show as chips at the top of the card. Tap one to open its details and add it.
5. Tap **Save Solids**.

The food list is grouped by type, fruit first. Search finds foods in the list and in your own history. Cami stores the name as you see it, in your language.

## How much, and how it went

You choose these on the food’s details when you add it:

- **How much**: **Taste**, **Some**, **Lots**, or **Other…** to type your own words, such as “half a jar”.
- **How it went**: **Loved**, **Meh** or **Hated**.

Both are optional. Tap a choice again to remove it. To change them later, tap the pill on the right of the food on the form. It reads **Add detail** while both are empty.

## Note a reaction

Turn on **Noticed a reaction** if you saw something after the meal, and write what you saw in the note. The flag is for the whole meal, because Cami cannot know which food caused it.

## First foods and allergens

When a meal has a food your child has not had in Cami before, the line under **Noticed a reaction** says so. It starts with “First time:” and names those foods. If the food list knows that a new food contains a major allergen, the line names it too. The list shows the same information beside each food.

This is a record of what your child ate, not advice. Ask your pediatrician when and how to introduce foods.

## Troubleshooting

### The food I need is not in the list

Type its name in the search field and tap the row that adds it. Next time it shows under **Recent**.

### I can't save the meal

A meal needs at least one food. Add a food, then tap **Save Solids**.
