We took our jogger pram and baby bjorn with our 5 month old. Having the jogger was great as he could sleep in this by the pool,when we were shopping and at dinner. We timed dinner after his last feed so he would fall asleep and never needed a babysitter. Yes it was heavy but having it was far better than not. It also carries all your shopping and drinks food etc.If he was awake when we were in a restaraunt we never saw him as he was always taken away by the staff.
He was still breast fed so food was no issue for us but we found the milton sterilising tablets fantastic for bathing. DOn't leave home without these. I would also take some cans/jars of food with you as a back up on long day trips etc... We took nappies with us, filled the suitcase and emptied out before leaving.
We bought swim wear and appropriate hats at the cancer council shops as these all offer very high uvf protection, I'm not sure if you have a similar shop in NZ. You will have a great time with your baby so enjoy the holiday.
