I'm not sure if you have been told how many days you will be there but we spent 24 days in Russia our second trip when we got our son. We only had to have 8 days of outfits for our son though. We were over weight but they didn't really care. In our case they didn't weigh the backpacks only the luggage. I only brought 4 pj's, I figured if there was an accident I would have that pair washed before they were needed again. We used the hotel services for our laundry. It was a little pricey, but worth it just to have clean cloths for us and our son. The worst was the flight home. I went through 4 outfits also. Plus we ended up cleaning the entire airplane bathroom due to a blow out while changing my sons diaper. Needless to say my husband had to change his cloths also. Our son also got very sick on our last flight (I think from not getting enough sleep).

We only brought 16 outfits, but were right on the money. By the time we got home he was clean and in his last outfit. Good Luck!
