Well I wouldn't actually call them lessons but I agree there are things that I would LIKE to do diff - depends on baby though! That's the first thing I have learnt - even if you want something to happen it doesn't mean they want it to! Like routines - I've tried to have a routine but it simply doesn't work - I have to watch DD's tired signs and put her down then rather than watching the clock. Other things I would prob do diff:

1. DEF give a bottle daily or weekly so she stays used to it (my DD had bottle early on of EBM then stopped and now refuses it!)

2. Not get DD up at every cry because sometimes she was just protesting and not really crying

3. Not let her get overtired - we kept her up for nearly 10 hrs once thinking she was happy - DER!!!!!!

4. Give sips of water from cup earlier - maybe before 6 months

That's all I can think of - nothing major and just because we did those things doesn't mean it's all bad thoough it would be so handy if she did take a bottle! Good luck!
