Praise for Expecting Better : “Gives moms-to-be a big helping of peace of mind!”– Harvey Karp M.D. , bestselling author of The Happiest Baby on the Block “A revelation for curious mothers-to-be whose doctors fail to lay out the pros and cons of that morning latte, let alone discuss real science. And it makes for valuable homework before those harried ob-gyn appointments, even for lucky patients whose doctors are able to talk about the rationale behind their advice.”– New York Times “A book… that pregnant women won’t want to miss.”– Parents Magazine “Oster’s advice cuts through the emotion, myth, fear of malpractice litigation and looks at the numbers. A mother herself, Oster’s interest isn’t just curiosity, it’s the same thing that motivates every new mom… and Oster’s ability to break down the data into informed analysis is a refreshing break from the hysterical hearsay that often dominates the conversation.” –Babyzone “It took someone as smart as Emily Oster to make it all this simple. She cuts through the thicket of anxiety and received wisdom, and gives us the facts. Expecting Better is both enlightening and calming. It almost makes me want to get pregnant.”– Pamela Druckerman , New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Up Bébé, Praise for Expecting Better : “Gives moms-to-be a big helping of peace of mind!”– Harvey Karp M.D. , bestselling author of The Happiest Baby on the Block “A revelation for curious mothers-to-be whose doctors fail to lay out the pros and cons of that morning latte, let alone discuss real science.

Synopsis
From the author of Expecting Better, The Family Firm , and The Unexpected an economist’s guide to the early years of parenting. “Both refreshing and useful. With so many parenting theories driving us all a bit batty, this is the type of book that we need to help calm things down.” — LA Times “The book is jampacked with information, but it’s also a delightful read because Oster is such a good writer.” — NPR With Expecting Better , award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet , she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting. As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There’s a rule–or three–for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision? Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn’t always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they’re ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren’t necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time. Economics is the science of decision-making, and Cribsheet is a thinking parent’s guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert–and mom of two–who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions–and stay sane in the years before preschool., The instant New York Times bestseller From the author of Expecting Better , an economist’s guide to the early years of parenting. “Many parents will likely find reading it a huge relief from the scare stories that seem to pop up everywhere these days… Cribsheet is not another call for the end of helicopter parenting or snowplow parenting or whatever kind of parenting is lighting up social media today, and it’s not a call to overthrow medical wisdom; it’s a call for parenting with context, and it’s freeing.” — The Washington Post With Expecting Better , award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies.
