From your first day as a parent, Sticky Monkey Labels has the solutions you need to reduce your mental load. Our baby bottle labels are perfect for daycare, pumping, and keeping milk or formula organized and clearly marked.

Labeling Hacks for Stress-Free Mornings

1. Label Everything Your Child Takes Out the Door

From backpacks and lunchboxes to water bottles, jackets, and even shoes, applying durable, waterproof name labels means you’ll spend less time hunting for lost items. No more confusion in the lost and found or accidental swaps at school and daycare.

2. Clothing Organization for Home, School, and Camp

Use stick-on or iron-on clothing labels to keep track of uniforms, jackets, hats, and gym clothes. This is especially helpful for families with multiple kids or for items that frequently get mixed up at daycare, school, or summer camp.

3. Baby Bottle and Sippy Cup Labels

Daycare drop-offs are a breeze when bottles and cups are clearly labeled with your child’s name and allergy info. Sticky Monkey Labels’ write-on baby bottle labels are dishwasher, microwave, and sterilizer safe—perfect for busy mornings.

4. Car Seat Labels for Extra Safety

Add personalized car seat labels with emergency contact and allergy information, so caregivers and first responders always have critical info at a glance. Ideal for daycare pickups, carpools, and travel.

5. Allergy and Medical Alert Labels

For children with food allergies or medical needs, clear allergy alert labels provide peace of mind and help teachers, caregivers, and camp staff keep your child safe.

6. Meal Prep and Snack Organization

Label snack containers, lunchboxes, and even reusable bags. This not only helps kids take responsibility but also saves you time during the morning rush.
