By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In \u003ci\u003eCribsheet\u003c\/i\u003e, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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\u0026amp;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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Economics is the science of decision-making, and \u003ci\u003eCribsheet\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Oster\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of economics at Brown University and the author of \u003ci\u003eExpecting Better, Cribsheet, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Family Firm\u003c\/i\u003e.
