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. Review: Recommend - I enjoyed this book. It’s written in a fun easy to read format. I feel like it made me think about how things I really hadn’t considered yet. I loved all the data. Maybe not the most thorough but very good. I’d recommend Review: LOVE - I love this book and Expecting Better! I genuinely feel like I've learned so much and been able to develop opinions on topics that would have otherwise taken me days to research and try to parse information together. I love the way Emily writes! I think this book is extremely useful for all expecting parents and will be recommending it to friends and family in the future. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #964 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Business Decision Making #4 in Decision-Making & Problem Solving #6 in Pregnancy & Childbirth (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,008 Reviews | ## Images ![Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool (The ParentData Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7190NHB4DpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommend *by .***. on January 26, 2026* I enjoyed this book.

As a parent (and an academic scientist), I keep hearing various rules and recommendations and find myself wondering... where do the data for THAT come from? This book is a really accessible guide to navigating the parenting literature with an eye for research methods. The author also does a wonderful job at discussing how sometimes what parents care about is not what research measures. I also found it quite freeing to know that there is not a lot of evidence for a whole host of things. I'm drawn to attachment parenting practices, and I chose to breastfeed- it felt nice to realize I was doing these things because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to because "the evidence says". The big takeaway, then, is "just do you" - with a few caveats: please vaccinate, do not spank your children. My one criticism is toward the parts that were not grounded in data. The postpartum recovery section seemed to be based on personal experience and anecdotes, and repeated some potentially harmful myths (e.g. about how "capacious" one's vagina is after childbirth). These are admittedly more medical questions than the others dealt with in the book, but I would have liked this section too to be more in the spirit of a critical view of existing evidence. Similarly, the how-to section on breastfeeding strayed too much into the realm of personal experience and unscientific sampling of anecdotes. Overall, though, this is a really wonderful book and I plan on getting it for all future baby showers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool (The ParentData Series) - Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know (The ParentData Series) - Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/150318415-cribsheet-a-data-driven-guide-to-better-more-relaxed-parenting](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/150318415-cribsheet-a-data-driven-guide-to-better-more-relaxed-parenting) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
