Hi Andrew40, have taken our grandaughter twice to bali already and she is only 20months. Take long life milk, although you can buy milk up there but your baby may not like it. We took some baby tins and bits and pieces to tide her over and then when we went out she just had some of ours ie scrambled eggs/omeletes, fruit, rice, french fries etc. Nappies we bought from home as my daughter only likes Baby Love and they dont have them in Bali but there are lots to choose from. Wipes are readily available. We bought a VERY LARGE round plastic bowl in the supermarket over there to fill up with fresh bottled water which we warmed in the kettle for her to bath in on the front verandah of our room. The first time we went we took an old stroller with us and left it for one of the balinese who was having a baby.In fact we left the big bowl and pram with lots of stuff in for Kadek. The first time we took Taylah she was only 7 months and we really only took her out at night as it was too hot during the day (November. She loved swimming in the pool but for the rest of the time she just played in the room or we put her in the big bowl and she played there. In September when we took her we were out and about a bit more with her although being a toddler now we were all very busy as you can imagine.
Enjoy your holiday, Robyn
