How many clothes for 10 day holiday?

I am wondering how many clothes I need to pack for the kids when we go away to Majorca in June for 10 days. I have two boys who are 10 and 16 months. I am anticipating that I will need to pack more for the little one, and envisioning him covered in ice cream, spaghetti and all sorts by the end of the day whereas by and large I can trust the eldest to be cleanish 😃

We have only ever been awake for a week previously and with only one child so two lots of clothes for 10 days is giving me a headache!

Fresh clothes every day. Swimwear. Plus a large bib!

Shorts and T-shirts for the daytime (probably won't need 10 as they'll be in swimwear at least some of the time).

Another set of shorts and shirts for the evening if you're planning on going out. Definitely for the ten year old. It depends with the baby. I'd be tempted to feed him earlier and put him in PJ's in the buggy while the rest of you eat dinner, but obviously depends if he's a buggy sleeper or not!

PJs

Swimwear

Pants

Remember to take a full change of clothes for everyone on the plane just incase....you never know with kids!

Is there a washing machine?

If you or DH don't mind a little bit of work, clothes can be washed with hotel shampoo. They'll dry quickly in the heat, & I don't think baby will complain about them not being ironed.

So many, sorry!
The first few days we're a bit trial and error, but we found the best thing for us to do with a toddler was put their evening outfit, which was generally quite clean, back on for breakfast. Then go back to the room to get changed. By doing that, we were okay with 1 daytime outfit with swimwear, and 1 night time outfit for every day, plus 3 cardigans for the the full holiday. We went through two pairs of pants/ socks a day. We also needed 2 changes of leggings for the flight/ transfers- sitting in awkward angles meant leaky nappies happened.

So all in all, about 25 outfits altogether 🤩

Thank you for the replies everyone, @anon2022anon particularly like the idea about rewearing the evenings outfit for breakfast the next day!

For pp who asked I googled there are laundry services, I suppose in emergency but would really rather not! I might bring a bottle of that detergent you can buy specifically for washing things in the sink?

I so far have bought him;

5 pairs of casual day shorts
10 T-shirts
2 pairs of evening shorts
4 shirts/smarter tshirts for evening
3 rompers
2 swim costumes

I might get on Vinted to fill in the gaps! Thanks everyone.

Plenty of shops in Majorca for cheap T-shirts & shorts.
