I spent 6 weeks in Bali when my son was 4-6 months and had a wonderful time. You will be the centre of attention as Balinese love babies. I found that the average Balinese teenager knew more about babies than I did! Don't bother taking a car seat but DO take a portable cot if you can - I had a Fisher Price with mesh sides and with a mozzie net over the top there were no problems with mozzies during the night. Be sure to take an atomiser, fill it with bottled water and keep spraying it over the baby when it's hot. Also take a good nappy/heat rash product (I had a papaya-based one from the Health Food shop that was wonderful). The main thing is for YOU to look after yourself. Keep your fluid intake up and relax:)) And for easy shopping trips, ask at your hotel if you can hire someone to accompany you - very cheap and well worth it. Pembantu is the word for child-minder. Have a great time :)
