Any "must haves" for hols in Med with DSs 2.9 and 4 months?

[Pannacotta]

This will be the first time away with both DS1 and DS2 (the first time we went abroad with DS1 he was 9/10 months). Anything in particular which we need to pack?
DS2 is breastfed so luckly dont need to worry about bottles/forumla etc.
TIA.

Anyone?

swim nappies and sun suits

hats, a pushchair with a sunshade, a bumbo - brilliant for on the beach

small paddling pool so he can splash safely near you or float boats etc .

sun cream

medikit
mosquito stuff
sun cream
regular bed time things - teddy bear, stories
as many books as you can pack.
snacks and entertainment for your 2 yr old on the plane - sticker books etc.

buy your bucket and spades out there.
Same with nappies - just take enough for the journey and a couple more.

easy to apply non-sticky suncream
spare ziplocs for things to bring home, wet clothes, etc.

when adn where are you going?

we are off this week, to Malta for a fortnight.
Thanks for all the tips, any more for any more?

best tip of all - have a lovely time!

just got back from crete with our 4mo. he got around in nappies for most of the hol, so didn't need as many clothes as we thought. then just had him in t-shirt and shorts, or only a vest in the evening. also got him one of those baby warma wetsuits so he could stay in the pool/sea longer.

def second the pram with babe shade, then he can nap in it while you're by the pool.

Has anyone used a UV tent? Is this something worth getting for the 4 month old, or is buggy plus parasol enough, I can't decide?

Spare hats, beach shoes def worth getting for toddlers. The UV suits are great, picked up a few xheap ones while I was back in the UK so you should be able to find some bargains.Activites for the plane, nibbles for the plane. Sunshade for buggy/pram. Can't think of anything else but have a great time

When we moved out to Cyprus I bought a UV tent and have used in once in 2 years!!!

Thanks McDreamy, can you remember where you found the UV suits? Am v short of shopping time now (mild panic is setting in...........!)

Mosquito net (as well as Jungle Juice (or similar) repellent, Antihisan & plug-ins).

Very important: pack of 2 foam anti-door-slam horseshoes (from Boots, eg) - we've taken them on every holiday and they've been invaluable - everything from stopping the open window banging to fencing-off the hideously sharp corner of a glass coffee table. Ds and dd are now 8 and nearly-7 and I wouldn't travel anywhere without them.

Otherwise - Malta is weirdly British-suburban - lots of bungalows named after England football grounds - and you'll be able to get everything you need there.

Thanks Bink, the horseshoe things sound great.
