clothes/gadgets/accessories to take on hols?

[bossykate]

we are off on holiday to the med at the end of next month. can't wait! i was hoping for some advice on holiday stuff to take with us for ds (aged 10m when we go). For example:

those little wetsuits?
beach shoes?
baby sun cabana?
buggy sunshade?

are any of the above worth investing in? it's all so expensive and i get more and more miserly with each passing month/year! of course, i don't want him fried in the sun either...

i would be very grateful for any hints and tips plus any other essential items!

thanks very much in advance

Thanks, Bells, your suggestions sound great!

If it is hot at night, talc is also good to use on yourself and ds at night as it absorbs the sweat on your body.
