What milestones should we be aware of when planning for our child?
I want to get an idea of the big picture timeline that we should be prepared for, especially over the early, pre-nursery years.
For example, when should we expect teething, when should we arrange swimming lessons & nursery school, etc.
The day-to-day things are easier to nail down, but the timing of the big picture stuff can be hard if it's your first child.
Please provide citations/references where possible (possibly to other questions on the site).

At risk of sounding obvious, parenting.stackexchange.com is likely to be much more useful, as those three examples you give are entirely subjective:
Swimming: some people start at a month, some not for a couple of years
Nursery: some start at a few months, some at a couple of years
Teeth: brushing is important whether or not you use formula
I would definitely suggest browsing here to find out the bigger picture issues and real-world experience that you can even chat about, rather than things in a book (some of these books have been written by non-parents, so I am very skeptical)
