the coaching instruction set enabling control of operations of the electronic scale for preparation of an individual infant formula,
the coaching instruction set configured to be communicated to or be generated by the electronic scale for enabling the electronic scale for the control of the operations,
wherein conditions and/or a time at which the preparation has been completed is confirmed by the electronic scale to the computer and recorded in the computer and/or the electronic scale to define a historical feed tracking of the preparation,
wherein the computer program comprises a consumption monitoring program carried out under the control of the electronic scale, wherein the consumption monitoring program is configured to:
