Kids Labels Made Easy

Thank you Inchbug for sponsoring this post. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

It is storytime y'all!
Several weeks ago, I had an event to attend and I needed to leave Knox in the care of some nursery workers. This was the first time he was in this particular class so his schedule was new to the friendly workers. I explained that he needed a bottle at 11 a.m. and I showed them where all of his belongings were kept. But there was one problem I didn't realize existed...I had not labeled anything! I know this is shocking to some as I consider myself to be a very organized person.

After my event was finished, I went to the nursery to pick up my child and found a bottle that didn't belong to us in the diaper bag. I thought nothing of this, placed the bottle on the counter, and then we went on our merry way. Once we made it to the car I made a shocking discovery: Knox's bottle was still in the bag completely full!!! Now I cannot be certain if that bottle I found earlier was simply just placed in our bag by mistake, if Knox missed his 11 a.m. bottle or if Knox was fed someone else's bottle. I'll probably never know the answer to that riddle. But here is something I do know: Knox will never be left in a nursery without his belongings being properly labeled again. I'm certainly not interested in learning that there was a chance my child was potentially fed someone else's food. (I don't want to get too deep into that subject matter, grace has been given regarding the situation I share above. I tell you this story to paint the picture)


Once I discovered the bottle mix up, I knew I needed to remedy the non-labeled items immediately. So I took to the internet and did some research on the best labels for bottles and other baby items and I'm here to share it with you all: Inchbug!

The Inchbug Orbit labels are my new best friend for many reasons.
1.) They fit the bottles we already use and actually fit all bottles and sippy cups (except Dr. Brown's 4 oz standard bottle).
2.) They are waterproof and dishwasher-safe.
3.) They don't move when on the bottle; once I place the label on the bottle I know it is going to stay nice and snug.
4.) They have so many pretty colors making it easy for me to identify from across the room which bottle belongs to us.
5.) The Orbit labels also transition from baby bottle to sippy cup to travel mug allowing me to get a lot of use out of them through the years.

You can customize the Orbit labels several different ways. The ordering process is quite simple and easy to navigate. Your options include:
-color choice
-a fun icon to jazz up the label (or no icon at all)
-2 lines of text (which can include your child's name and your phone number)
-3 choices of font

If you have more than one child that requires Orbit labels, you will be able to easily customize the labels for each child and you won't have to worry about anything getting mixed up. The Orbit labels would have helped in my above situation but now that we have them I am confident that there will be no mistaking which bottle belongs to Knox.

In addition to the fabulous Orbit labels, I also grabbed a Bag Tag for our diaper bag. Have no fear, this tag is definitely not going to get crumpled or bent. It is made from very durable plastic that is scratch-resistant; certainly built to last. I actually had to giggle because the website features an icon of a big, muscular arm with the words "Super Durable" and that description is 100% true. The quality of the bag tag is even better than I imagined it would be. That is one thing I love about Inchbug: they send you quality products that are going to last you for years.

You can also customize the Bag Tags. Your options include:
-selecting a style/design (they have allergy alert styles available which is very helpful!)
-choosing customized text on just one side or both sides
-lines of text (4 lines on one side, 1 line on the other side)

I chose to have customized text on both sides of the Bag Tag so there would never be any question about to whom the diaper bag belongs. The fun colors of the Bag Tags make it easy to spot which bag is yours and the tags have full color on both sides.

Thanks to the genius people at Inchbug our items are now properly labeled. I don't want a story like mine to happen to you, so do yourself (and your friends!) a favor and grab you some of the Orbit Labels and Bag Tags now. It will help to put your mind at ease if you have to leave your baby during a feeding time. One of my goals with this blog is to share products that are helpful and make life easier for us as moms. Well, consider your life that much easier with these labels that are made to last (and look pretty at the same time!).
