Buying guide
For a hot, humid trip, pack breathable, quick-drying muslin cotton: onesies and playsuits for the day, one light layer for cool evenings and air-con, and a sun hat. Open-weave muslin lets heat and moisture escape, dries fast between the beach and pool, and packs down small.

We raised our own daughter in Bali, so this list is what we actually pack and re-wear in 32° heat and high humidity. The goal is simple: keep a baby cool and dry through the day, with easy changes and quick drying so a small bag goes a long way.
The everyday breathable layer, with easy snaps for quick changes.
One-piece for hot days — nothing to ride up or bunch when crawling.
Mix-and-match top and bottom that carries from day to cooler evening.
Light sun cover for the beach, pool and stroller.
A dressier option for photos that still breathes in the heat.
Light, breathable, loose-weave natural fabric like muslin cotton — a single breathable layer in the day, plus a thin extra layer for air-con and cooler evenings, and a sun hat outdoors.
In the tropics, plan for two to three changes a day for spills, sweat and swims. Quick-drying muslin means you can wash and re-wear, so you rarely need a fresh outfit for every change.
