Feeding

Jack Docs supports three feeding modes, so it fits however your child is actually fed rather than forcing every feed into one shape.

The three feeding modes

• Bolus - a defined amount given over a short time (a syringe or gravity feed through a tube, or a bottle). Log the amount and formula type; it's recorded as a single completed entry.
• Continuous - a pump running over an extended period, most often overnight or during the day at a set rate. Start the feed with its rate (ml/hr) and Jack Docs shows a live banner on the dashboard with the running total while it's active. When you stop the feed, you can enter the pump's actual total if it differs from the estimated amount (pumps sometimes under- or over-deliver relative to the programmed rate) - the actual total is what gets used for the day's feeding total.
• Oral - feeding by mouth, logged with notes rather than a strict volume when that fits better (though an amount can still be recorded).

There's also a separate "Water" quick-entry option for plain water flushes, which counts toward the daily total but is tracked and reported separately from formula, so you can see exactly how much was formula versus flush water on any given day.

Quick feeds

Just like quick meds, common feeds (a usual bolus amount, or a usual continuous rate) can be saved as quick-feed templates and given a name. One tap logs the feed with its saved amount, duration, or rate - handy for a routine that doesn't change from day to day.

Daily volume goal

Set a daily volume goal (in ml) for a care recipient in the admin Recipients tab, and the dashboard shows a progress bar toward that goal for the day - combining logged bolus/oral feeds with a running estimate from any active continuous feed. This is meant as a running total for your own tracking, not medical guidance - always follow your care team's specific feeding plan.

Autofill for less typing

Formula type fields remember your last-used value and offer a dropdown of previous entries, and oral feeding notes show tap-to-fill chips from what you've typed before, so repeat entries don't require retyping the same details every time.
