I did the exact opposite when I had my son. There were so many books saying do this, don't do that. Everyone had words of wisdom for me, like "children love routine" and so on. Much advice seemed self serving to me, and much of it was contradictory. I decided to ignore all advice, read nothing, and just find our own way. Seems to be fine. My kid is happy, doing well and we aren't beating ourselves up over whether we're "doing it right".
