Packing in General
• Milton Tablets to put in your bath water.
• Telfast for babies
• QV Wash / Lotion
• Good kids sunscreen – We used Arbonne
• Bathers (Rashes long sleeves) and hats – The sun is harsh.
• Nail Clippers (my babies nails grew so quickly and I was cutting them every 3-4 days.
• Anti-Histamine Cream
• Swimming Nappies
• Little Eyes – Baby eye wipes (Chemist Warehouse)
• Fess Nasal Spray and sucker ( Our boys were sick with a really bad cold prior to flying)
• Bonds long sleeve onesies (A few as we let them sleep in these because of the air-con so it gets cold in
the rooms)
• Mosquito Nets ( I purchased these on ebay just incase we needed them for the pram or the porta-cots
• Clothing - We had only a couple of rompers, bonds short sleeve onsies, shorts and singlets.... but they
just wore nappies most of the time.... it was so hot!!! So don’t pack many baby clothes.. Honestly it
will be a waste!!
• Bed Sheets – We didn’t pack these however it was recommended to us to take our own.... I did have
to fix the sheets / padded sheets from our porta-cots and tuck them in tightly, as they provided little
doona’s and pillows and you can’t have that for an 8 month old.. so just a thought.....
• Baby Sleeping Bags – we took our sleeping bags which were 1.5 and slept them in a long onsie with no
bodysuit... this was based on the air-con. They were comfortable in their sleeping bag and knew that
it smelt like home..
• Strollers. We didn’t take our proper double pram because we didn’t want it to get ruined and knew it
wouldn’t fit on their footpaths at this point in time (It has improved since our last visit).... So we
purchased two cheap $89 Kmart single strollers – they must lay back so they can sleep if you’re out
and about... With Garuda, you can check in your strollers and then take them right to the gate and
then they will take them off you 45 minutes before the flight and will load them onto the plane... and
because the lack of footpaths and width (lack of) the strollers were perfect.
• Baby Bjorns – We used these couple of times... Especially between getting off the plane and vice
versa going home. They were a godsend. Borrow them if you don’t have them.... But they are great
going through customs etc You have to take your baby out at customs though out of the baby bjorn.
• Toys – We packed a few essential toys / chewing toys to keep them entertained.
• Misc - Although we didn’t get the boys out that much as it was so hot and our nanny just said she was
happy to stay with them.... so we kept them inside majority of the time.... they had fun with the
nanny.. and we had a private pool villa so they got to swim a bit....
• For the plane we packed toys, teething rings, rusks, heaps of spare nappies / wipes and spare
dummies and 2 changes of clothes. (Bodhi did a poo 3 time during the flight) and Nappy Bags. We
were fortunate to fly Garuda and we had organised the baby bassinets thank god!
• Garuda allowed us to check the in then use them all the way to the gate and then 45 min before the
flight we handed them over to go under the plane.
• If you want to pack light, you can hire allot of these products from www.balibaby.com
Baby Food
• Tuppaware – We took sippy cups and also some tuppaware baby containers which we would take to
the breakfast buffet and fill up with fresh fruit / yoghurt etc.. .then we would feed that to the boys
after their 9am sleep... (PS ALWAYS TAKE FROM THE BUFFETT!!!!!)
• Water.... we used the bottled water, but just to be on the safe side, we would boil that bottled water
and provide them in sippy cups....
• Food – We took their powder formula on the plane in some bottles and we also took about 6 pouches
(Rafferty’s) on the plane. Even though they are 120ml and over the regulated 100ml, they allow it as
it’s food....
• Fresh Milk • Greenfields is the brand of fresh milk you can buy in Bali and it is readily available from
7/11 (called Circle K) and supermarkets.
• Mini Munchers – The best thing we found!!! Owned by an Australian Lady named Silv, and made fresh
that day and delivered to our hotel.... We ordered about $100 worth both times of different foods
and it was fantastic! Highly recommend and our boys loved the foods... and they had not long just
started on solids so we were rapt!
