Setting DS up for daycare....

What should I be getting for him?

Another bouncer?
Play clothes

Where do I get those labels for the bottles?
Do I write on the tags of his clothes or are there special labels for that too?
Do I really have to put the date, contents and amount on his bottles everyday? His name on the cap too?

What am I forgetting?
please help me!

Mabel's Labels are awesome! I have them on every bottle...they dont come off.
Up until a few weeks ago I was also writing the dates on masking tape and then putting them on the bottle--not necessary anymore

Keep at least 2-3 change of clothes at daycare--I didnt label these--they are in his cubby

Buy 4 crib sheets for the portable cribs

You need to buy a mobile/crib toy for his crib

I would give them a box of wipes with his name and then just send refiills (they let you know when you are low)

They have bouncers

The Carters one piece outfits are my fave for daycare--so easy

At my daycare, one of the babies has her own bouncer- so if you want to get another one, you can. My daycare wants the baby to be comfortable, and make it like home, so they encourage bringing blankets for her to lay on on the floor , sheets for her cribe, etc from home. I just dont bring toys because I dont want the other kids to be putting them in their mouth.

DD has like 3 sets of extra clothes there just in case she spits up or makes a mess with the clothes she has on. I also have extra everything there- diapers, wipes, A&D.

You have to label everything! I didnt buy any labels, just marked everything with a sharpie. We dont have to put the date and amount on everything- but maybe that is the policy of your daycare center.

Re: Setting DS up for daycare....

Our daycare we have to supply a change of clothes (I leave a few, usually a long sleeve and a short sleeve onesie, pants, and a couple feety pajamas) and we have to initial the clothes... i just use a sharpie.
Bottles have to have her name and date. I printed labels with my label maker for her name, and masking tape for the date. Also label the tops.
We supply diapers and wipes and diaper cream.
They have exersaucers and swings, but could really use new swings. Chat Icon They're kind of crappy. They also have toys for them to play with, they wash them every night.
They have sheets, but I can supply my own if i want. As well as blankets.

Initial everything... it helped when they put DD's clothes on another baby. Chat Icon

I labeled his bottles and caps w/ a PTouch. I also keep 2 outfits and a bunch of bibs in his cubbie. On the tags of his clothing/bibs I write his initals w/ a sharpie.
