Cribsheet

Cribsheet is a guide by renowned author and economist Emily Oster, who previously made waves with her book "Expecting Better." In this work, Oster focuses on the early years of parenthood and provides a data-driven analysis to assist parents in their decision-making. Given the multitude of often contradictory advice from doctors, family, and friends, it can be challenging for new parents to make the best choices for their children. Oster sheds light on common myths and exaggerated assumptions regarding topics such as breastfeeding, sleep training, and potty training. She encourages parents to make informed decisions based on facts rather than being guided by societal norms and expectations. With a clear, engaging writing style, she makes complex information accessible and offers practical advice that is both reassuring and enlightening. Cribsheet is thus an essential book for anyone looking to navigate the often overwhelming world of early parenthood.
