Daycare Name Labeling?

[mands1125]

Anyone have a good system for labeling the daycare items? I love the namebubbles and almost purchased the "daycare pack" but there is likely a cheaper way I suppose like using tape and a marker. LOL. Has anyone used namebubbles?

Also, dumb question. Do I also put her name on the outfit that she is actually wearing that day or only the spare outfits?

Budget solution:
I bought a pack of removable iron on fusing and some fabric, wrote initials on it and cut down to size. Iron onto the tags of clothing/blankets etc. Cheaper than the fancy labels and tags and it's fully removable.

For bottles, I got a back of dry erase labels and stuck them on the bottles. Our DC requires breastmilk bottles to be dated, so I could write/erase initials and date on the bottle each day.

No experience with labeling but I would label what she's wearing. If she requires an outfit change, then what she's wearing could get misplaced & need her name on it.

As a preschool teacher... I ask parents to clearly label everything they send in. At back to school night I tell them to add up each item they send in every day and multiply that number by 10 (average class size). That is the number of items we need to keep track of every day and the better labeled things are the better. I personally don't care how things are labeled as long as I can read it, some school are more specific. What ever method you do choose just pick something that will hold up. Mable's Lables and similar places are expensive but they last through washing. It makes it easier on you in the long run.
Also IMO you don't need to label her clothes each day (just outter wear) but that's your preference.

Name bubbles are the best! Love them. Used them for DD1 and am about to buy more for her as well as some for DD2. Love the rewritable ones for bottles (like PP said, gotta label breastmilk with dates). I'm super annoyed because we just missed a 20% off sale because we forgot. Ugh. Still going to buy them though.

Ooh thanks for reminding me that I need to get some of these. Our DC recommended name bubbles.
