Adding a health statistic to Garmin Connect with Garmin Connect IQ

I made a simple app for mothers to track the breastfeedings. The short-term goal was to see what *** should be fed next, but now I want to add this data to Garmin Connect, so you can see the history of the feedings. This is especially useful for the first few weeks of the baby, where it is crucial the baby gets fed enough times.

What I would ideally want is a way to get a list of the last feedings in Garmin Connect, but a simple graph with from -1 to 1 (where 1 is left and -1 is right for example) and simple spikes of when the baby is fed would be fine as well.

I have tried following the documentation, but I have trouble understanding what I am really doing here, although I tried to follow the documentation and samples closely.

I tried different things, but I can't seem to get any information in the FIT file regarding left/right. I attempted with a string field and my last attempt was with a integer field with the units set to Left/Right and the value to 1, but it does not seem to work. Here is my last attempt in code; other attempts were similar, but with differrent names and field types.

My question: how would I make something like this?

// Field ID from resources.
const BREASTFEEDING_FIELD = 0;

function setupFitField(left as Boolean) as Void {
var input;
if(left == true) {
// If this works, use translated strings.
input = "Left";
} else {
input = "Right";
}

var session = ActivityRecording.createSession({:sport=>Activity.SPORT_GENERIC, :name=>"Breastfeeding"});
var breastfeedingFitField = session.createField("breastfeedings", BREASTFEEDING_FIELD, FitContributor.DATA_TYPE_UINT8, { :mesgType=>FitContributor.MESG_TYPE_SESSION, :units=>input });
session.start();

breastfeedingFitField.setData(1);

session.stop();
session.save();
}
