Anybody got a holiday packing list for a 7 month old and a 3 year old I could copy?

We're off for our first holiday abroad since the children were born next week. We're going to Portugal. I'm trying to write a packing list but am convinced I've missed loads of stuff.

Do you have a list I could take a peek at and copy?

Not got a list as such but will be taking as little as possible. I'm bf & co-sleeping so don't need much for dd.

nappies
sudocream
sun cream waterproof
baby sling
hats with neck cover
teeshirts for pool
Also for 2yr old
Plastic shoes non slip for swimming pool
swim ring & waterwings
crayons, paper, aqua draw

We're not going to the beach this yr but previously I have a string bag to put beach toys in so that the sand drops out on route from beach.

Have a good holiday

Outfits for each day, plus a few spare (especially for baby).

Shoes, socks if necessary, undies.

Bring one cardi each in case it gets cool later on and a few old tee-shirts as cover-ups on the beach (bring travel wash and you can halve the amount of clothes you bring!)

Sunhats

Baby gear - nappies, wipes, cream, bottles if you use them, sterlising stuff if you use that, sippy cup etc.

Swimming things - costumes, pool toys, armbands, goggles if they use them etc

Toiletries - toothpaste, toothbrush, hairbrush and any products you might use, mini shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, sunscreen and aftersun if you use it.

Mini first aid kit? Insect repellant? You prob won't need it, to be honest. My DS has hayfever, so I'd bring his medication.

Toys/games/activities that are easy to pack. I usually pack these in a separate plane bag, along with babywipes, a spare set of clothes each and baby stuff like nappies.

I'm still BF too and we have a washing machine at the villa which should help.

Thank you for your help

I've bought UV suits for the children. Will they still need old t-shirts as an extra layer if they get cool do you think?

never used uv suits - just teeshirt, hat & suncream.

also forgot to say I'm taking some fever medication, therometer & handwash
