Not everyone has their family around the corner. Here we look at the pitfalls and unexpected advantages of having to travel to see grandparents...

Pre-baby, perhaps you thought nothing of jumping in a car or aboard a train with a weekend bag and travelling hundreds of miles to visit your family, or in-laws.

These days, with an extra person in your party – who, by the way, has the luggage demands of an A-Lister, long journeys are a different prospect entirely.When you are packing up what feels like half your house, you may as well take advantage of maternity leave and spend longer than a couple of nights away.A set of fresh surroundings will do you the power of good, too.

Rest assured; it will get easier. One day you’ll unlock the car, your children will climb in and get strapped in, without a tantrum, and you’ll arrive at your destination without all your belongings nestled around you and a nagging feeling you have forgotten something. Waving your parents off or setting off from their house to yours can be a tear jerker of a moment. But remember you are showing your little one how to keep a precious bond going. There will be hard moments and you will feel sad.
