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.

I will quote the list of all the bottom lines at the end of each chapter. It gives the gist of the book in case you don't want to read through (but still worth reading through it). Newborn baths early on are unnecessary, but not damaging. Tub baths are bett...

只有economist知道什么样的研究才能确定causality说服我们，思维方式太契合了。这本书也可以窥见一些Emily的私人生活，比如她爸妈都是economists。做了笔记，如果将来有小孩就去买一本纸版。

参观了个daycare center觉得书里给出的研究结果很有道理，一岁之前的小孩可能更需要individualized attention 在托儿所成长可能有些许不利于发育。母乳的好处主要是短暂的，能喂的话喂6个月。睡眠训练对孩子对大人都好。

Evidenced-based的书特别深得我心，特别是对于两眼一抹黑又受到来自各方面的信息轰炸的新手父母。养娃就是一个特别充满不确定性的事情，这本书算是在不确定性中带来了一点点明灯。
