We go to mallorca for a week next week with ds's 2.5y and 10m and I have no idea what to take! Please can you share your packing lists with me for a week at the beach/ hotel pool. How much/why sort of clothes they might need and useful extras would be greatly appreciated :)

We've been taking DS abroad since 10 months (will be 3 in Sept) I used UV suits mostly, shorts n tshirts, sunhats...how long are you going for, do you have access to laundry if required?

Sorry just reread, a week. My packing for August is 2 UV suits, 7 tshirts, 7 shorts, sunglasses,cream and hats. DS has a wetsuit and shoes which are a fab investment if you get your monies worth out if them. Huggies Swimmers (currently in wk2 of potty training so these are for emergencies), also found a fab travel potty (Potette)...what have you thought of? I'll come back once DS asleep and can concentrate Smile

Thanks M2F have each: 2 uv suits , 1 waterproof sun hat, 2 normal sun hats, a couple of sets of pj''s each, 4x short rompers for ds2, t-shirts and shorts ( will do 7)
Will I need trousers and jumpers for evenings for the boys do you think?
I guess they really don't need many other clothes for them as they will just be in and out of pool/ sea?
I have a stupid amount of swim nappies, calpol, sun cream etc. I'm happy to do some hand washing if needed. We have a limited number of suit cases so don't want to over pack but scared to not having enough ;)

My brother is in Mallorca at the moment, it is hot! You won't need jumpers. Make sure you take lots of suntan lotion, it's all half price here at the moment but it is very expensive there.

Re jumpers/trousers...have you seen the forecast lol scorchio!! I sense you are feeling the same way I did just before first hol with DS, Id planned for every eventuality lol then I made an amazing discovery...they have babies in Spain too!! I cant think of anything Ive not been able to pick up while away...dont fret. Your packing list sounds fine...I doubled tshirts up as pj tops...whatever is worn to bed will do next morning too.

Hahaha you are both so right! Defiantly over thinking it I think ;) very nervous about taking them both and dh is not much help with these sort of things!
Thank you both and great tip with the sun cream. My cases will be so much lighter now!!
