    I am breastfeeding her so that would make it easier. Bottles definately make it harder, but that being said we took DD#1 to Malaysia when she was 11 months and lugged over her bottles and formula and had to buy huge bottles of water once there, it wasnt too bad. Still we discussed it and we wont be going, not comfortable with it just yet. We do have a Bali trip planned though for mid year and she will be 6 months, which will be fine in my opinion.

    That's great Isadora that you have made a decision that you are happy with. 6 months will be a lovely age and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.

    yeah Isa that will be great! enjoy!
    Hope I didnt make anyone 'cringe' by saying i would go (i certainly dont judge those that dont go, but i thought it was worth giving the point of view that it is doable and may even be enjoyable)... i have travelled quite a bit with both my boys and it has always been great... i guess it depends on you/your kids and your lifestyle and what you are expecting from the trip....

    I know what you mean MP!!! I was so tempted to go, but just in the back of my mind I was thinking hmmm 2 months, just a bit too young for my liking.

    I would. I have a few different friends that have travelled with a baby that age & they have reported it is an excellent age to travel, especially on the plane.

    Yep I would.... we took DD to Fiji at 10mths, and again to Thailand and Malaysia just recently at 22mths of age.....

    They love babies over there!! I think Bali is just as safe as any other destination you travel to - bad things happen EVERYWHERE.

    If you were bottle feeding that would be super challenging but thankfully you are BF!!

    I took my DS to Bali when he was FF. I used Milton's tabs for sterilising and made the formula from bottled water. Had no problems at all. Having said that, do what you are comfortable with!
