I don't think you should be asking for parenting advice from a website full of teenagers. Why don't you ask ADULTS & FAMILY MEMBERS. That's what I would do.

True, lol.
But I'll do my best.

Okay.
All the advice in the world will not fully prepare you for being a parent.
Remember that while it is good to be friends with your child, you need to be a parent first.

Also, put an emphasis on education and the arts.
Start early, I say. [My mom began teaching me the alphabet and numbers at 8 months. I'd memorized my letters by 18 months.]
You should enroll your child in music. Set your baby aside from everyone else.
Pursue whatever talent that your child finds interest in.
Switching from one thing to another is good for exploring options, but it's better if you encourage your child to buckle down and specialize.

Edit: My mom says not to pump your breasts. It messes with their shape.
