Things to bring to Jakarta

hi

i'm coming to jakarta with our 10 month old son at the start of october. we'll only be there a few months staying in a serviced apartment

just wondering if you think there is anything i need to bring with me that that i can't get there for him? (eg, infants panadol, he's teething terribly)

also, any Aussie playgroups? max loves hanging out with other kids

thanks

Hi Noni
Definitely brined medications. You can get them here but often find equivalent here doesnt have the same kick. Nappy creme etc too.

I would recommend you also bring a good car seat but be aware not all cars have correct anchor points so maybe bring an anchor clip to have installed if the seat needs more than a seat belt.

A small stroller is handy for shopping although you can buy the umbrella type cheaply here.

Maybe a portacot, and a few fav blankets or cotton wraps? Depends on where you're staying.

Baby formula if specific brand isn't available or he's fussy.

Disposable nappies are readily available here. Just need to try to find one brand you like.

Anza (australia and nz association) has a weekly playgroup that us well attended each Wednesday morning. Ph 021 71793042 or email anzajakarta@gmail.com

Hope that helps.
