Our Guide to Visiting Malaysia with a Baby and Toddler

Are you thinking about taking your kids on an adventure to Malaysia, but feeling a bit unsure? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! When we were planning our trip, we scoured the internet for information about traveling with young children in Malaysia, but came up short. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you decide whether Malaysia is the perfect destination for your family.

Before diving into the nitty-gritty details of our itinerary and activities, we wanted to be absolutely sure that Malaysia would be a safe and enjoyable place for us to explore as a family. 

Here, are some of the questions we wanted to find the answers to before we went

Is Malaysia Baby-Friendly?

Trust us, when you travel to Malaysia with your little bundle of joy, you’re going to feel like a star. The locals simply adore babies and you’ll find yourself getting plenty of attention. Prepare to have people come up to you, asking questions, cooing over your little one, and showering you with compliments.

But don’t worry, it’s not intense or overwhelming at all. It’s all done in a genuinely friendly and welcoming way. So, sit back, relax, and let the Malaysian people show your baby some serious love!

What is it like travelling around Malaysia with a Baby and Toddler?

Our family had an amazing time traveling around Malaysia with our young kids. The country is bursting with color and energy, providing a fantastic travel experience. We saw some truly breathtaking landscapes, visited incredible temples, explored charming towns, and met some truly lovely people.

It was an experience that left a lasting impression on our 3-year-old, who was able to soak up so much new knowledge and develop into a seasoned young traveler. Of course, it wasn’t always a breeze – our youngest was at that age where she was crawling everywhere and putting everything in her mouth.

Navigating dirty floors and keeping her out of trouble wasn’t always easy, but we found ways to manage. We quickly learned that a portable changing mat was an absolute essential for keeping her clean during nappy changes, as formal baby changing facilities were few and far between.

Despite the challenges, we were realistic about what we could achieve and how much we wanted to travel. For medium-distance journeys, we found that taxis were a great value and provided us with the flexibility and comfort we needed to get around Malaysia with toddlers. 

So if you’re considering traveling to Malaysia with your little ones, don’t let the challenges hold you back – the experience is well worth it!

Where to go in Malaysia with a Baby and Toddler

Malaysia is a fantastic destination for families with babies and toddlers, and there are so many wonderful places to visit. Here are some of the best destinations in Malaysia that you and your little ones will absolutely love.

This theme park in Perak is perfect for families with young children. There are plenty of rides and attractions designed for toddlers and preschoolers, such as the Hippo Valley and Adventure River. 

There’s also a petting zoo, a tiger valley, and loads of amazing swimming pools. When we visited we stayed in the hotel for one night which granted us free evening access to certain areas of the park which gave us plenty to do when travelling with toddlers.

Tioman Island

Tioman Island is a small island off the east coast of Malaysia. It’s surrounded by crystal-clear waters and is known for its stunning coral reefs, making it a great place for families to go snorkelling.

Is it safe to visit Malaysia with a Baby and Toddler?

Top of our list of concerns was the health of our children. Going to new places where the healthcare is unknown, diseases are different and you don’t speak the language can be a little bit daunting.

We are not healthcare professionals and the information on this page is based on our own research and experience.

If you are going to Malaysia (or anywhere else), we recommend that you visit your doctor 2 months before you leave to ensure you have up to date information and have all the necessary immunisations. 

Typhoid and Hepatitis A and B can be an issue especially in rural areas so it is worth getting jabs for these. There are others like rabies and Japanese Encephalitis that you may wish to consider depending on your travel plans.

Please discuss this with your doctor and visit this page for some great general health advice.

Not all vaccinations can be given to babies and young children so be sure to check with your doctor about what is available to you and your family.

How Good Is Healthcare In Malaysia?

Malaysia has very good healthcare facilities but you do need to consider where you are going and the distance to healthcare facilities as some remote areas will have very limited healthcare services.

In general, the quality of healthcare in Malaysia is very good but you will need to ensure that you have adequate medical cover in your travel insurance.

Having good travel insurance will at least enable you to do whatever is necessary should you have any unwanted incidents.

Malaysia has an efficient and widespread system of healthcare, operating a two-tier healthcare system with a government based universal healthcare system running alongside a private healthcare system. Both are very good but both are better in the bigger cities.

Nearly all doctors and most nurses speak English. 

What are the Biggest Health Concerns in Malaysia?

If you take some sensible precautions in Malaysia you should not experience any major health risks during your visit.

Drinking-Water

You should avoid drinking tap water in Malaysia and buy bottled water instead. 

In most restaurants, ice is made using boiled or bottled water and is generally safe to drink. If the ice is the round, machine-made type you should be fine to drink it. 

Sun and Heat

The biggest day-to-day risk is from the sun and heat that you are likely to experience in Malaysia. Sunburn, sunstroke and dehydration are a real risk in Malaysia. It can get very hot and you and your kids should always wear sunscreen with high UV protection all the time. 

If you are travelling with a baby or toddler you need to be particularly careful of the sun and heat. 

Malaysia can be hot depending on where and when you visit, so you will want to factor that into the types of activities that you do and the places that you visit. 

The coast can prove refreshing with a nice breeze, whilst higher areas like the Cameron Highlands will give you the chance to escape the worst of the heat. We always made sure that our accommodation had air con so that we had a cool place for our baby to nap and for us to escape the heat of it all became a bit too much. 

It is best to try and avoid doing anything too strenuous during the heat of the day, be sure to keep yourself hydrated and retreat into the shade or air-con if you need. 

Tropical Disease in Malaysia

One of our first concerns when choosing a destination was to avoid the risk of catching malaria. You can check the malaria map for Malaysia here. 

These maps are updated fairly frequently but are not an absolute guarantee. As you can see from the map peninsular Malaysia has a low risk of Malaria and antimalarials are not usually advised. If you are visiting Malaysian Borneo, there is a higher risk

Dengue fever was our biggest concern before and during our trip. It is a serious disease and can be caught all over Malaysia. There is no vaccine and prevention relies upon the avoidance of being bitten.

To reduce the chance of being bitten we took mosquito repellent that was suitable for young children, a travel cot that was fully enclosed in mosquito mesh, and 2 further mosquito nets for ourselves and our toddler. 

As it is spread by mosquitos that are active during the day it is hard to completely eliminate the risk of being bitten. 

Food in Malaysia

Malaysian food is famous throughout the world and you can be sure to get some wonderful fresh food during your visit. Restaurants and street vendors provide tasty eats and low prices so you will be able to try all sorts of delicious things.

If you or your kids aren’t too keen on Malaysian food you should be able to find international cuisine in most tourist destinations. We always went with baby-led weaning and encouraged our girls to try all sorts of foods. After all, what do babies eat in Malaysia? Rice and fruit mostly. We were able to get great fresh fruit like dragonfruit, mangos, pineapple and watermelon.

We took a Tot Seat chair harness with us and that proved to be extremely useful when we were in places without highchairs, and we definitely recommend this to anyone travelling with a baby.

Are Malaysian People Friendly?

The Malaysian people we came across were all very friendly. They absolutely love babies so if you are travelling to Malaysia with a baby you can expect to attract lots of attention and have plenty of opportunities to interact with the locals.

It is worth being prepared for the fact that the locals may want to stroke your baby’s skin or hair and they may want to hold your child.

In our experience, this felt friendly and natural and we didn’t have a problem with it but it is something to be aware of and it is a good idea to think about how you will react in these situations.

During our trip, there were a couple of instances where large groups of camera-toting Chinese tourists wanted to snap pictures of our little girls. At first, we didn’t mind, but it became a little overwhelming when the photo-taking continued even after we asked them to stop. It was at those moments that I felt the need to remove the girls from the situation and take a breather.

Now, don’t get us wrong – we don’t mind people taking photos of our daughters if they’re okay with it. However, some tourists can get a little carried away, and it can be difficult to get them to stop, even when we ask politely. In those cases, we’ve learned to take matters into our own hands and move away from the situation.

It was ironic to see a fully-robed Buddhist monk visiting Langkawi and wanting to photograph our children, as he was exactly the kind of person we would have wanted to capture on camera during our previous travels. Life is full of surprises, isn’t it?

Can You Get Baby Supplies in Malaysia?

You can find most of what you need in Malaysia. We always like to leave home prepared so we take a decent supply of nappies, wipes, and food with us. That lasts the first few weeks and means you don’t need to worry when you first arrive. Then you can just stock up as you go along. 

We also take a first aid kit that covers all the basics. But medical supplies are easily available in pharmacies and supermarkets that you will find all over the place. We just think it is best to have them in advance so you have them when they are needed.

Are Nappies or Diapers available in Malaysia?

Finding nappies/diapers and wet wipes is easy as they are stocked in convenience stores and supermarkets should have what you need. Mamy-Poko is the most expensive and best brand of nappies, they are a Japanese brand and are of similar quality to the Pampers we get in the UK. 

If you are heading to remote locations or smaller towns it is well worth stocking up with nappies before you leave the city.

We always travel with a decent supply of nappies from home so that we are not under pressure to hunt some down in the first few days of our trip.

Is it ok to breastfeed in Malaysia?

Breastfeeding babies in public is acceptable in Malaysia but should be done discreetly, it is a good idea to use a scarf or muslin for added privacy. The more touristy the area, the more acceptable it will be but we would say to err on the side of caution and try and be as discreet as possible wherever you are so as not to cause offence.

Formula milk and pre-packaged milk are available if required. Finding facilities to sterilize your bottles may not always be easy.

Finding Baby Food in Malaysia

We highly suggest packing a good supply of packaged baby food before traveling to Malaysia with your little one. It can be a real lifesaver to have a few pouches of healthy baby food or nutritious snack bars on hand when your baby or toddler gets hungry while you’re out and about.

When you’re exploring a temple or hiking up a mountain, you don’t want to be caught off guard and scrambling to find a place to eat. While ready-made baby foods are available in Malaysia, they can be difficult to find outside of the major cities and supermarkets.

They also tend to have different ideas of what babies should eat and some of the products that are available and aimed at babies are really sugary and possibly not what your child is used to.

 By bringing your own supply of packaged baby food, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your baby is getting the nourishment they need while enjoying your travels in Malaysia.

When to Go to Malaysia with Toddler or Baby

Malaysia is a country with a tropical monsoon climate. 

That means that while the weather is hot and humid throughout the year, there is always a chance of a downpour of rain here and there. 

So, it’s always a good idea to carry an umbrella or waterproof with you. The best time to visit Malaysia is typically between December to April, when there are shorter spells of rain and the weather is more pleasant.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that seasons can differ depending on where you are going, so the ideal time to visit can vary. 

January and February are great months to visit, as they offer a chance to experience unique celebrations such as the Chinese New Year and Thaipusam.

Once the rains subside, the country becomes even more beautiful, with pleasant temperatures and majestic waterfalls. 

Don’t miss the Sabah fest in May, a week-long celebration of Sabahan culture that is worth experiencing. And in June, the Gawai Festival is a must-see, as it opens the doors of longhouses for rice-harvest celebrations with dance, food, drinks, and lots of music. 

What Should You Pack for a Baby and Toddler in Malaysia

For our trip to Malaysia with a baby and toddler, we used a 100 litre wheeled duffle bag like this one, along with two smallish Osprey backpacks.

Packing in this way means that we are able to transport all of our luggage plus the girls in their baby carriers (these are absolutely essential) when we need to travel about between hotels and various different forms of transport. 

It is always difficult to decide what to pack for a baby or toddler when you travel abroad. You don’t want to take too much but you also don’t want to be without something that is essential. It is a tough balance to get right.

Top 5 things to take (that you might not have thought of):

1. Kids Water Bottle and Plastic food tubs (these ones are great)
2. Pop up travel cot (check out our travel cot reviews here)
3. Totseat chair harness for those times when the restaurant doesn’t have a high chair
4. UV protective swimsuits to protect your little ones from the sun and slightly reduce the amount of suncream you nee to slap on.
5. Travel changing mat (we took this one and it was perfect). It was a last-minute buy and was the most useful thing ever!

We have done loads of travelling with our girls and this is what we think works. For long trips, we do washing as we go along, for a couple of weeks you could probably get by without needing to do this.

If you are spending a lot of time on the beach your little one will end up spending a lot of time in their swimsuit, so this is one of the most important items to take.

We like the ones that cover arms and legs as it protects them from the sun without having to worry quite so much about when you last put sun cream on.

Malaysia Baby Packing List – Clothes

• 6 short-sleeved onesies or cotton rompers
• 2 full-length onesies
• Washable swim nappy
• 1 UV protective swimsuit with long sleeves and trousers 
• 2 small muslins – depending on how sicky your baby is!
• 1 sunhat and 1 swimming sunhat
• 1 large muslin for sleeping under
• Sunglasses
• Favourite small comforter/ teddy

Other Essential items for a Baby in Malaysia

Changing mat/bag: This is probably the most useful item that we packed. A compact place to keep your nappies, wipes, and creams which folds out into a handy changing mat. Proper changing tables are a rarity in Portugal so this gets used all the time.

>> check price here

Baby Carrier: These were essential for getting around, both our 9-month-old and 3-year-old needing carrying quite a lot. The cool mesh carriers are great for hot countries.

Nappies/diapers: We always had a decent supply of nappies with us in the bag but they are easy to get hold of in most places. 

Baby wipes: These are much more expensive than in England so it is worth bringing a supply from home.

Teething necklace: Good for keeping your little one entertained and quiet whilst travelling or in the baby carrier.

Nappy cream: Just in case of any sore bottoms you will want this on hand.

What to Pack for a Toddler in Malaysia

For our toddler/pre-school age daughter we took the following which worked out just right for a long trip where you expect to do some washing as you go along. If you are happy to pay for more frequent clothes washing, you could get by with less than we had.

Toddler Packing List

• 4 cotton/linen summer dresses. This is what our daughter wore most of the time. For a boy (or a girl who doesn’t like dresses), you will probably need shorts and a t-shirt most of the time so bring more of those.
• 4 t-shirts
• 2 shorts
• 2 pairs of lightweight trousers (good for covering up if there are mosquitos about and for buses and planes)
• 1 long-sleeved top
• 4 pairs of underpants
• 2 pairs of socks.
• Pyjamas (not that essential in summer – pants or light shorts will do)
• 1 long UV protective swimsuit and 1 normal swimming costume. Our girls spent most of the time in their swimsuits when staying on the coast.
• Trainers (you could probably leave these at home if you don’t plan to walk through any jungle/ forests),
• Sandals (necessity),
• Beach shoes (our daughter like to climb the rocks on the beach & kayak so these came in really handy).
• 1 sunhat and 1 swimming sunhat
• Sunglasses
• Raincoat

Other useful items to take:

Pop up travel cot: We like this one as it pops up in a second and closes like a tent to keep mosquitos out. The girls think that it is fun to have a tent! Check out our review of the best travel cots

Beach tent: If you are planning to spend a lot of time on the beach, it’s well worth taking a beach tent to provide you with some shade and privacy. This makes it an ideal spot for your baby to feed and sleep.

We have the Littlelife family beach tent and it has been great for us on the beaches of Sardinia. We found it especially useful when our baby was very young and not yet able to crawl or sit.

Blackout blinds: These travel blackout blinds are great to make your room dark at night times

Totseat chair harness: This baby totseat is a great backup to have when eating out with a baby. Baby high chairs are quite widely available but not every restaurant has them and often they only have 1 or 2 chairs for loads of tiny diners.

Drinking bottle: This is essential. Find a kids bottle that your child can easily drink from and that you can take anywhere.

Suncream: This is available in Portugal, but we always take some so we are prepared.

Hand sanitiser: Very handy for keeping hands clean on the move. 

Disinfectant wipes: We used these to clean high chairs and the floors in hotel rooms.

First Aid Kit: There are bound to be times when you need a plaster or bandage so we always take a first aid kit along ours contains Calpol, Benadryl, antibiotics for mastitis, children’s inhaler in case of croop, mosquito repellent for kids and adults, Bonjela, plasters, paracetamol.

Kids tablet: Basically a lifesaver on the plane or when you need a bit of quiet time. We like the Amazon Fire kids tablets but there are loads of great options covered in our best toddler tablets post.

You will probably need fewer toys than you think to keep your kids entertained whilst away. But it is definitely worth taking a few things to keep them occupied on journeys and if you want some quiet time in the hotel. 

The toys we liked the best include stacking cups which are compact and brilliant, you can use them to make sandcastles on the beach, to pour water in the pool or even to stack on the floor. A few Duplo bricks, toy cars, and colouring/activity books also come in handy, especially at mealtimes.

Hopefully, this gives you a guide for what you should be packing with you when you take a toddler or an infant to Portugal. For more comprehensive information, check out our post on the best baby and toddler travel gear, and this baby and toddler packing list.

Flying to Malaysia isn’t your only option, we actually came from Thailand by boat from Koh Lipe to Langkawi. There are also overland options from Thailand and Singapore.

How to Travel Around Malaysia with a Baby

Malaysia is a big country and distances between the main sights can be quite long. For this reason, you may want to consider taking some internal flights to cut down on the journey times with kids in tow. 

We relied on a combination of public transport and taxis (via the Grab app) to get around Malaysia. We looked into renting a car and it seemed affordable but we didn’t actually try it.

Public transport in Malaysia is generally reliable, safe, and affordable. The major cities are well-connected by various modes of transportation, including buses, trains, and taxis. The most common form of public transportation in Malaysia is buses, which are operated by both government and private companies. They are usually air-conditioned, comfortable, and have regular schedules, making them a popular choice for locals and tourists alike.

Trains are also a popular mode of transportation, especially for longer distances. The intercity rail network in Malaysia connects major cities and towns, and is operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM). The trains are comfortable and air-conditioned, making them a good option for those looking for a more relaxed way to travel.

The easiest way to arrange public transport is by using 12go.com which will show you all your travel options by ferry, bus, train, plane etc and which is cheapest, quickest and most recommended. It is great to have all this information in one place and makes travel between destinations so much easier.

Start planning your journeys here

Taxis are widely available in Malaysia, and are usually metered. However, it is always a good idea to negotiate the fare before starting the journey to avoid any surprises. 

Ride-sharing services like Grab are also available in Malaysia and can be a cheaper and more convenient option, especially for short trips.

We use this amazing Mifold travel booster seat for our toddler and used it on our second long trip to South East Asia. It is a brilliant booster seat for traveling, it’s tiny so it doesn’t take up much space in your luggage, check out our review of using it in Thailand and Malaysia.

In addition to these modes of transportation, Malaysia also has a modern light rail transit system (LRT) in Kuala Lumpur and some other major cities. This makes it easy to get around the city without having to worry about traffic.

Overall, public transportation in Malaysia is a great way to get around the country. It is affordable, efficient, and offers a convenient way to explore the various cities and attractions.
