and we had the best time. Agree with the Milton tablets, they're great. I was paranoid about the mosquitoes and dengue fever, but he didn't get bitten once. I dressed him in light cotton long sleeve shirt and long pants in the morning and evening, which I sprayed with Tropical Strength Rid - then I only had to put a little bit of Rid on his neck, forehead, wrists and ankles. This seemed to work a treat. He also slept during the day under a mozzie net and we had a 'kindercot' for night, which you zip up and is like a tent. I also took Wet Ones Antibacterial wipes for his hands, which we used before each meal as well as some plastic 'throw away' spoons. Also, Bali Deli in Jl Kunti, Seminyak, has a really good range of imported baby food and products if you get stuck - it's worth checking out. You're going to have the best time, but it will be very different from your partying holidays of the past (which we just discovered first hand for ourselves - it's the first holiday I've had where I didn't finish reading one book!!!!!!!!) Enjoy your trip.
