Bali with a 5.5 month old
We are travelling to Bali next month with our DS, who will be 5.5 months old. I've only been to Bali pre-baby and I didn't pay any attention to baby orientated stuff so I've got a few questions about it.
We are staying in a villa in Uluwatu for the first 5 days so I'm planning on taking enough nappies to cover that stay, but then we move to Nusa Dua for 5 days. Is there somewhere in Nusa Dua that sells nappies - or would we need to travel to Kuta? Are they ridiculously expensive in ND - would I be better just to take enough from here to cover the whole trip?
He's not yet on solids and I'm going to try and keep him on BF/FF until we return. When I am making up formula, do I need to boil the bottled water first? Do I need to take lots of formula with me, or can I buy it out there? Or maybe I should take those ready-made sachets?
Someone I met the other day mentioned bathing him in bottled water or sterilising the tap water with some kind of sterilising tablet - is that necessary? If so, what is the tablet? The only thing that springs to mind is something we used when I used to go camping as a child to sterilise the river water for drinking.
I know there are some international medical centres in Bali - has anyone got the details of ones they particularly recommend near Nusa Dua?
I don't fancy lugging our car seat all over the place, and having been to Asia I presume most babies are just carried on laps while in the car - is this a problem other than the very obvious reason. Are there any car seat laws in Bali?
Thanks for your help ladies - this trip seemed like a good idea at the time but now I'm not so sure.
