To be honet I cant really think of anything. I never thought I would breastfeed, but knew I would at least try it, which I did. We had the moses basket, but she co-slept for 7 months, which I loved, I am glad we did that as we are definitley co-sleeping next time. I never thought about making my own food, just knew I wouldn't be giving her chocolate, or juice until one (she still is only drinking water & milk).
I guess the one thing I didn't want to do was CIO/CC but we did and now she sleeps perfectly.
