She'll need to work with the home country to get baby issued appropriate citizenship and identity documents, but just to travel home? Birth cert and mother's docs should be enough.
IIRC the mother needs her own proof of citizenship and proof of birth for the infant.
It's cleaning day! I try to make day one of my (Monday-Tuesday) weekend the day I ball hard on laundry and yardwork, then in the afternoon I pick one room and deep clean it and in the evenings I clean out the fridge. Then on the second day I do paperwork and make the kind of phone calls where they put you on hold while playing videogames.
The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and some guy who's name is harder to remember.
An inventor uploads a schematic to the Internet for a cheap, easy-to-assemble device that lets anyone (or almost anyone) "step" into parallel earths. A nearly infinite stretch of untamed wilderness sees people abandoning the polluted, crowded, government-run Old Earth in search of new opportunities. The catch: No iron or iron alloys can "step" across, sending these new earths back to the bronze age.
Also: Zeppelins that are also reincarnated Buddhists that are also the first true machine intelligence; robot cats; libertarian communes; sapient nonhuman primates; sapient nonhuman non-primates; radioactive ziggurats; space programs to parallel moons; and grumpy survival chicks.
If I know long long it takes to get somewhere, I will somehow find myself leaving the house with exactly that amount of time, leaving no space for delays. This is bad. So instead I've started saying "I'm going to leave at this time, which is definitely more time than I need" and then not looking at a clock when I get there so I never find out how much closer I could cut it.
The other strategy is to plan to eat when I get there, before whatever it is starts. I will be motivated to get there with enough time to eat.
