Food & Diet Management
Everything food now lives in one unified 🍽️ Food hub at /food — feeding for today, a weekly meal plan, a food library, groceries, and your diet rules. (The old separate Diet Management page redirects here.)
Navigate there from the sidebar: My Dynamic → 🍽️ Food
The Five Tabs
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| 🌞 Today | The Feeding Autopilot "what's next" card with one-tap "ate it", your hydration ring, a bottle quick-log with timer, and today's meal timeline |
| 🗓️ Plan | The weekly meal board — drag meals around, set recurring meals, copy a day or a whole week, and print |
| 📚 Library | Browse, filter, and favorite foods; add them to the plan; create custom foods |
| 🛒 Groceries | A checkable shopping list, grouped by aisle, built automatically from the week's plan |
| 📊 Insights & Rules | Nutrition balance plus your diet rules, stats, and fun extras |
👩🍼 Caregiver Meal Planning
Linked caregivers can build their baby's whole meal plan — and when a caregiver sets the plan, it becomes caregiver-locked: the baby sees exactly what's planned for every meal, beautifully, but can't edit it. The plan syncs across devices, so it's always current on both sides.
Three helpers make planning painless:
- 📦 Meal Plan Packs — one-tap starter weeks: 🍼 Purée Starter (gentle first purées), 🧒 Toddler Favorites (easy kid-friendly solids), ⚖️ Balanced Mix (solids + baby food), and ⏱️ Quick & Easy (low-effort, store-bought)
- ✨ Smart auto-fill — fills the empty slots with a balanced mix that prefers your baby's favorite foods and steers around allergens
- ⭐ Favorites quick-pick — favorite meals float to the top of every picker for fast planning
Planned meals clip onto the Order Ticket Rail in the Little Kitchen app — and when your little cooks one, you're told instantly ("Ellie made Tuesday's lunch! 🥪").
Diet Rules
Under Insights & Rules, create dietary rules for your dynamic — pick from a quick-rules library ("Bottles only", "No sweets without caregiver permission", "Caregiver feeds every meal"…) or write your own with a custom emoji. Toggle any rule on or off without deleting it.
Logging Meals & Bottles
The Today tab is your daily log: tap through the Feeding Autopilot as meals happen, log bottles (with contents and amount in oz/ml), and watch the hydration ring fill toward your daily water goal. Everything appears on today's timeline and feeds your stats.
Caregiver View
Linked caregivers see their baby's meals, bottles, hydration, and rule compliance from their side — and the Needs-You inbox will gently nudge you if no meal has been logged today.
