I am mostly concerned about clothes, blankets, etc.
I was looking at the stickers but they seem like they will fall off the clothes etc.. So I was thinking of iron ons. I would hate to use a Sharpir on the fabric.
On clothes that I leave there, I use a fine point sharpie and write her initials on a seam somewhere that it won't irritate her skin. Clothes that I keep at home and put on her on a daily basis, I generally don't label. I know what I sent her in and if she doesn't have the same outfit on at the end of the day, I ask where it is. DD is 14 months and I've never had a problem. Crib sheets and blankets, I write her initials on the tags. Again, they tend to stay in her crib, so they've never been lost.
I ordered sticker labels online from Name Bubbles. I use the dishwasher-proof on cups/bottles and laundry-proof on clothes, sheets, blankets. If there's a tag, I stick the label on the tag. If there's no tag, I stick the label on the material. The labels have survived unscathed through numerous washings already. I don't label all her clothes - just things that are loose like jackets and hats. I'm definitely pleased with the labels, and they're really cute.
I don't have a rec, but I can tell you what doesn't work. I bought iron-on name tags from mabel's labels. After a few washes, they peel right off. Not a good buy imo.

This. DD is almost 17 months and I've never lost anything. If the clothes are tagless (Carter's) I write it on an inside seam.
