Wow a month in Bali ! am jealous :-)
I've made some comments on bits of your list, you sound very organised though !
Stroller (not included in baggage allowance) - why not?! we flew Jetstar and Portacpot & bedding, Stroller, Portable highchair and Carseat (we didnt take one) were not included in weight.
Rain cover for stroller - we also took a UV shade which actually zipped onto our stroller we used it every day and SO glad we took it, guess you could get by with hanging a cloth over the pram but with the shade bubs can still see out and was totally covered from the sun which was bright and often in his face! was also useful as then people couldn't see in the pram and couldn't see the cute baby so it was quicker to walk down the street LOL
Not too much clothing!!! - YES ! I took waaay too many things. I ended up washing lots of singlets and in a few hours they were dry.
Nappies and baby wipes - Yup take your own wipes, you can buy imported pidgeon ones over there, the Indo ones are cheap but very perfumed
Baby food (Raffertys and first balance veggies) - we also took lots of Rafferties and some baby spoons. We also took some extra snaplock bags, they are just handy to store things in.
Teething rusks - yes we couldn't find them anywhere
Dummies - and a dummy chain so it won't get dropped !
Facewashers - oooh you sound like me, I took my own as well, I even took his rubber ducky :-)
Also Nappy Sacks bags, for dirty nappies and also for any dirty clothes/bibs etc etc when out and about ..
Think thats it .. check the archives for my JBR
