Most of the things came about purely by chance and convenience so most were not planned or given much thought lol.

Didn't even really think about breastfeeding before children, not even sure when I learnt babies feed from breasts because I can't remember ever associating them together until my first pregnancy and it was still awkward to consider but then I did it and it was just so convenient... so I kept going... for 3yrs lol through a pregnancy and tandem fed.

Similar things happened with co-sleeping, baby led solids, baby wearing. All just made my life easier and appealed to my laziness.

One thing I really didn't expect is to get, use and fall in love with a tandem pram! I was sure I would wear one or the other, have one walk, use a single pram in all sorts of combinations but DD2 at 8 months is a little motor and HUGE so I got a second hand one and love it, use it most days even if it is just for a stroll around the neighbourhood.
