We are bringing our baby to New Zealand at end of the year and she would be 9months. Any tips from parents on: 1) what to take note/ bring while traveling 2) any recommendation of activities as a family with the LO in NZ.

South Island for those of you that are more into the outdoors. Hiking, camping etc. North Island for more touristy things like the maori experience, hotpools and beaches. If you are keen on South Island, Christ Church has a International Antarctic Centre. Has penguins and is a museum with various activities. I took my daughter there when she was small. When we're holidaying in NZ, we use bookabach.co.nz for accommodation (be aware you need to book in advance, you're often dealing with home owners, and ideal for 2+ nights). And for ideas of what to see, we use TripAdvisor. Also when ur flying back to singapore, stock up on stuff from NZ. Everything is cheaper for babies in NZ than Singapore! I'm in NZ now and stocking up on organic food pouches, formula, cotton clothes, bath products etc.
