No probs with babies.
1) bring all the formula you require - using bottled water. If you have an electric steraliser - bring it to ( bring the plug convertors..)
2) Bring all the nappies over you will need ..yes you can buy other disposables over there - but if you child only wears one brand and then you swap you can get some nappy rash.
3) sunblock them every 1-2 hours - even if the sunblock says its 4 hour protection. One sunburnt baby is no fun.
4) hat, swimming shirts and swimming bubbles are your friend. ALWAYS supervise them in the pools (even in the shallow bits)
5) not sure what to feed them when dining out? NASI PUTIH (boiled white rice) is always your friend.
6) RID tropical strength....even at night in your hotel room - mossies love little kids.
7) take a small first aid kit (or make one when you get there from the APOTIK - chemist) - dettol, bandaids, gastrolite (in case they get vomitting) etc.
8) BIMC is great if anyone in your family gets sick.
9) ENJOY....preparation is the key - always best to err on the side of caution.
I have been going to bali for 11 years with my kids (now aged 16, 9 and 3) and to date none of them has ever had bali belly or the like. Bali is awesome with kids of any age and your twins will have a ball.
