It may seem like I'm bringing lots however I feel it's better to be safe than sorry.
For the baby, I am packing a day outfit and evening outfit per day with a couple of spares. The older they get, the less I will bring as I can reuse some items of clothing dependent on how clean they are.

Hooded towels are a godsend as they not only dry the child, they keep them covered from the sun while they're wandering around.
Arm bands and swim floats are also being packed.
I will also be bringing consumables such as nappies, wipes, sun cream and toiletries.
Funnily enough, I will probably still add more to the lists although I know I have plenty!
Anyone else an over packer?
