Daycare moms - what do you use to label bottles?

katydidnc · March 2009

DS is getting ready to start daycare and I am trying to figure out what all I need to get. I know we have to label his bottles with name and date (and the lids with the date), so I am looking for suggestions from those of you who also have to do this.

we use blue painters tape. you can use a permanent sharpie marker for the name and then I just use a long piece of tape for the week and put the new date each day.

Mabels labels

I've heard mabel's labels are great but my DCP provides labels.

A friend of mine whose DCP doesn't provide labels just uses masking tape and it works well.

I bought waterproof labels from Designer Label Gal on ebay. Cheap.

Mabel's Labels but we also fill out a label with her name, the amount and date of BM that is provided by daycare. BM is red labels and formula is white.

We use masking tape and a sharpie. ?I have found that blue painters tape is more expensive and doesn't come off as easily (IMO). ?I didn't do labels as I think I would just loose them.?

I used mabels labels and they've worked well so far.

We use a black marker. It does the job.

Scotch tape with a sharpie. The scotch tape survived the dishwasher a few times so I didn't have to keep reapplying it, just remarking it.

Inchbug.com when I got lazy. I LOVE these because I moved them off dd's bottles and onto her sippy cups. But, we don't have to put dates on things we just have to take everything home at the end of the day.

These have been amazing for everything else. They don't fade or peal off.

I bought the inchbug labels as well - I love them and as a bonus, it is easier for DS to hold his own bottle when he has one with one of the labels on because it's grippy for him. Otherwise, I use blue painter's tape to label everything else. It wasn't intentional, it was just the only tape I could find in the house at the time and it worked so well I stuck with it.
