The rule that you're really supposed to follow when packing for any vacation is the less you take, the better off you are. Of course, traveling with children, especially babies, means you have to take considerably more than normal. Try to rent out a crib or something if the hotel you stay at doesn't have one included.
Although a fanny pack is often a sign of a tourist, it does keep your hands free to carry the baby or hold the toddler's hand. In fact, when the kids are old enough, they can even carry their own backpacks and suitcases. They seem to like their own special one.
Money, passports, and jewelry are a little too valuable, so please carry them in a very safe and secure place on your person, or in a safety deposit box at the hotel or in your room, if necessary.
Also, don't be afraid to use the local laundromat when you need to. That's an experience in local culture if there ever was one.
Take at least three full outfits per person, preferably things that can be layered and mix-and-matched and are also washable. Of course, if you drop anything, a stain-remover stick will be very beneficial to you.
Snack foods are always a good idea to take for when the need arises. Just make sure it is either non-perishable, or something that will last long enough after your vacation is over.
Wet wipes is also something not often considered, but they're great for hands, mouths, pen marks, and toilet seat cleaners. While you're at it, a roll of toilet paper might also be an intelligent choice, just in case.
