I would not want labels--handwritten or stuck on-- on the inside parts coming in contact with LO's milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291399 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:39:06 +0000 looch 1291399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a sharpie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291286 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:57:01 +0000 Corduroy 1291286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used freezer tape (looks like masking tape) for the first day of daycare. I planned to buy nicer labels eventually but the freezer tape is still going strong 6 months later. It's lasted through the dishwasher and steam sanitation.</p> <p>I didn't label LO's clothes because they are all borrowed hand me downs. I figured the real owners would be less upset to be missing a few things than to have LO's name written in everything. And I don't have time to sew labels in everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291122 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:19:39 +0000 whodat 1291122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sharpies....I'm not fancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291110 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:16:47 +0000 Alivoo01 1291110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use painters tape with a sharpie, and for clothing or items too small for painter's tape, I used Mabel's labels. I really like them and they're reusable!! I take them off DS's smaller clothing and put them on bigger ones, and they stay on!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291093 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:13:19 +0000 danda 1291093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: A regular sharpie can sometimes bleed through if there's no tag to write on but is otherwise fine. Maybe a laundry sharpie doesn't have this issue? I consider my Oliver's labels purchase for iron-on and stick-on labels to be a mommy extravagance b/c I wanted cute labels. Also I like that the stick on labels can be removed if the clothes eventually become hand me downs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291035 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:56:54 +0000 Smurfette 1291035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: We just put her spare outfits in a ziploc bag with her name on the bag. I can't imagine having to label clothes. We do have to label her sleep sack and bibs. Those I just wrote her initial on the label with a sharpie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291024 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:54:08 +0000 Anagram 1291024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And great suggestions all! I never even thought to check Etsy for labels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291021 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:53:42 +0000 Anagram 1291021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about clothing? We just had our trial day yesterday and they said literally EVERYTHING we leave at day care should be labeled, because too many kids were losing socks, or socks were going home with the wrong kid, or shoes were missing, or jackets got mixed up.</p> <p>I saw a Laudry sharpie on Amazon. Would that do, or should I buy the cute Oliver's tags for clothes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1291009 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:51:44 +0000 Anagram 1291009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@danda: I have no idea. Maybe they tell parents that so we don't actually opt to have them wash the bottles? ;-) But I know some FF moms must opt to just leave bottles and formula there so they must actually be labeling the insides...or they just don't use Dr. Brown's bottles. Who knows?</p> <p>Since I pump, it's really easier for me to just take the bottles home and fill them myself with what I pumped the day before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290978 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:38:46 +0000 MapleMoose 1290978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following this thread.

Good suggestions... But I guess I should ask them of they have requirements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290960 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:32:01 +0000 Smurfette 1290960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I wouldn't label the inside parts either. </p> <p>We use waterproof labels on the bottles.<br /> <a href="http://www.cherryhilldesigns.com/waterproof-labels_c_1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cherryhilldesigns.com/waterproof-labels_c_1.html</a></p> <p>We have to have a date on bottles and food.

It's been on there for at least a month of daily washings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290946 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:28:03 +0000 danda 1290946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Oliver's labels for clothes and daycare-provided tape for bottles. I can't imagine labeling the inside parts of bottles! And seriously, how would people label the nipple itself? Sharpie seems like it wouldn't be non-toxic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290939 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:25:30 +0000 pl0508 1290939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: true - DS only goes to Mothers Day Out twice a week - so its not an every day thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290936 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:24:15 +0000 Anagram 1290936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I told them I thought it was unsanitary too! They told me everyone does it, but I think I'll opt to take the bottles home every night to wash and not label the bottles on the insides (They wash bottles for you, but you can request for them not to).</p> <p>I think I'll just label the bottles and caps. And her clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290932 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:22:58 +0000 Mamaof2 1290932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: LOL<br /> Well I am lazy and reapplying masking tape everyday.....ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290930 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:22:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1290930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used Mabels Labels, Label Daddy and name bubbles</p> <p>Mabels is more pricier but def lasts way longer than the others!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290926 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:21:52 +0000 pl0508 1290926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>............ masking tape :) haha - i'm cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290922 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:20:11 +0000 HappyBaker 1290922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ask your daycare - I was surprised that our daycare required colored tape with their name in Sharpie on EVERYTHING, even if I had already labeled it. </p> <p>They provided the tape, its definitely not as cute as those nice labels you can buy, but it was free and what they wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-parents-what-do-you-use-to-label-everything#post-1290901 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:11:49 +0000 erwoo 1290901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't need it for daycare but for preschool and got some from Oliver's Labels and love them! There is also Mabel's labels but I find them to be a little pricier.
