Hi there, we took all our own food (in jars) for her main meal - as I did not want her to get sick, she ate fruit from our plates, croissants, toast, chips etc... and was fine.. I took sterilising tabs and sterilised her cup, bottle, spoon, toothbrush etc... we took our stroller which is one of those skinny umbrella types - it was fine on the footpaths - mainly used the road!! hmmm, no probs... took nappies as well as they are more expensive over there - anyway we didnt mind taking it all because our bags were pretty empty going overand wed used all the food and nappies us when we left... definatly recommend using babysitting services we used one every night for 17 nites - it was great!! and only cost $1.50 per hour!!! Vaseline is great for heat rash - its gone by the next day when you use it... and definatly recommend having lots of antiseptic wipes with you... high chairs - well alot of restaurants have them - if not she just sat on a chair... or in her stroller...
cant think of much more advice - I found it to be alot easier than I thought taking our daughter and didnt have any problems...most of them were in my mind before i left.. anyway we are palnning to go again in Sept and would definatly take our daughter..
Have fun!!!
