TwinQsMummy: Trip ke Bali

Trip ke Bali

Hi all,

Title entry yang menarik kan? This Bali trip was quiet some time already. It was actually on my birthday, 28^th June 2011. It was really a memorable birthday present plus great family getaway. Akhirnya kami berjaya pergi bercuti bersama keluarga, just mommy, abah & Lil Qs.

Ketika ni, Lil Qs baru masuk 9 months. Having a baby carrier is such a convenient gadget especially when travelling time. Thanks to my closest officemate for the carriers. I really love those & it was one of my favourite on-the-go-must-have items. Aspects for a huge luggage plus the twins. People will barely say that such a hassle & lots of trouble.

During the trip, we had one luggage for mommy & abah’s stuff. Another small luggage for Lil Qs cloths, diapers, FM, cereal and lots of other bla,bla,bla stuffs. We try to minimise our travelling stuffs as to make the travelling becomes more convenient plus hassle free. As for the hand luggage, we brought the travel backpack just to put in the twins milk bottle, flusk, plain water, their cereals and diapers. As for me & husband, we just pack our passport and other related stuff into our pouch. No handbag during this kinda travelling ok? Bring cloths that easily washed or just thin cloths. Wear sport shoes. Guess we need to walk a lot & you don’t need other than sport shoes. Bring travelling toiletteries. This may reduce your luggage capacity. Book a baby friendly hotel which able to provide a baby-cot, baby food or travel gear. These are optional since not all hotels can provide. If you manage to find one, it will be a bonus to you who travels with baby.

I made a thorough research from internet on ways & tips to travel long distance with baby especially twins. It took me about 2 months to do a research & make ourselves prepared for the 4D3N trip. Whether to bring or not to bring our twin stroller. Who’s gonna handle the stroller, the luggages and all sorts of other hand luggages while you’re carrying one baby each? That will be a total mass-up! Finally I found a website www.balibaby.com, a full service baby and toddler equipment rental agency offering high quality products to the traveling parent. Dang!! What a relief! My entire headache on thinking whether to bring or not to bring strollers etc has gone! We rental a tandem stroller with very minimum rental cost. Such very conveniences because they even send your rental gear straight to your room! For those who would like to travel to Bali with baby or toddler, you may check out this website ok?

As for baby stuffs such as formula milk/ baby food/diapers, you may bring a few with you. Once you reach there, you may able to buy from their shopping mall such as Carrefour, Matahari mall, etc. Ensure you have google map it in advance so that you know the nearest place to buy.

The moment you are on board with the babies, there’s nothing to be worry of. Once the plane is about to take off, we can either breastfeed our babies or milk bottle. This is to ensure that the babies’ ears are not interrupted by the gravity. If the baby refuses to drink we may just feed them with small chunks of fruits or let them sip a plain water/juice. The whole process will takes only for few minutes. Say you baby cries, just calm her down by pinching her nose a few sec & let her grasp for breath. That way can also reduce the uneasiness towards their ears.

Let’s enjoy some snapshots way from Bali ya?!
