I am sure this has been asked before, but please recommend your labels for sippy cups and other things. Drew starts daycare on the 29th and I didn't think about this till now.
We use inchbug labels too. Besides bottles and sippies we have only had to label the one or two blankets we bring to daycare. Since those are just for daycare I used a sharpie to write his name on the tag and just rewrite it when it fades after a few washes.
I have noticed that most of the other parents just use sharpie on their bottles (which fades and leaves the bottles poorly labeled) or tape with their child's name. Because of this when a sub is the room DS's bottles always come home labeled with marker. Annoys me to no end, I hate having to scrub the black sharpie off the bottles. And they still can't tell me why the sub always relabels his bottles except that she is just not use to parents keeping things labeled.
I took Amie's advise & used Mabel's Lables and I love them. They work great! I put them on in Februray and not a single one has wrinkled or warped. Very good quality.
Re: sippy cup and other labels
For sippies, I use Inchbug labels - they go on almost any cup or bottle, and can go in the dishwasher.

I haven't started labeling anything else yet, so I'll be interested in other replies too. And we're off to the BBQ! w00t!

We use love them and stick them on anything that leaves our house - toys, books, cups, bottles.
