## Resource

Going on holiday with babies, toddlers or young children can feel like a very different kind of break. There are snacks to pack, sleep routines to think about, spare clothes, travel toys, nappies, long journeys, new surroundings and the challenge of being away from familiar home comforts. Katie Thistleton and Guvna B put together a guide to family holidays, exploring how parents can travel with little ones with a bit less stress and a lot more confidence. Anna Whitehouse, also known as Mother Pukka, shares her honest take on travelling with children, from agreeing who does what and who the ‘designated flight parent’ is, to letting go of the idea that every holiday has to look perfect. Travel expert and author of travel blog Bridges and Balloons, Victoria Watts Kennedy, offers practical advice on planning a holiday that suits your family, not someone else’s. She shares tips on packing light, preparing for flights, managing sleep and remembering that babies and children can be more adaptable than we imagine.
