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.
