When sending your baby off to day care, you will have to send bottles with him or her. When sending bottles means that you have to label those bottles, as well. If you do not label them, the day care will not know which bottles are yours. This is why so many require labelling. It avoids mistakes and problems related to babies not having their own milk. If you are going to start labelling for day care, though, you will need to know the proper way to label. There are several methods, but not all of them will work as well as you would have hoped.
