is there anything i should be doing leading up to her daycare start date to get her ready?

I am going back to work full time in august and putting my daughter in daycare for the first time. her first day is august 3rd and her first birthday is august 29th.
im currently part time & working from home / remote so i am basically with her 24/7.

i don’t know what i should be doing to make the transition as smooth as possible for her. what did you do to prep your baby or what didn’t work that you would of done different?

I am going back to work full time in august and putting my daughter in daycare for the first time.
her first day is august 3rd, i go back to work august 10th (taking a week of alone time to get ready), and her first birthday is the 29th.

is there anything i should be doing currently & leading up to her start date to get her ready? she is currently ebf and my goal is to switch to bottles of breast milk for those last few weeks until her birthday (unless the pediatrician lets us switch to cows milk).
i have been trying to feed her more food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) but she’s not really interested half the time. she will eat some baby crackers / teethers and some purées i make, but she’s not huge into eating large meals, just picks at it and plays in it more than eating.

her daycare will provide breakfast, lunch and snacks so I’m trying to get her into that routine now. but i don’t know what else i should be doing to make the transition as smooth as possible for her. what did you do to prep your baby or what didn’t work that you would of done different?
