The instant New York Times bestseller

An NPR Book of the Year

From the author of Expecting Better, an economist's guide to the early years of parenting.

"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.

PRO: Size is accurate. Color is nice. Quality is not too bad especially for the price. Nephew seems to like it :) CON: Quality can be better. The hood is very light and thin but other than that it’s good for the price.

Lightweight sweatshirt.
Size: 4T, Color: White
Used for tie dye. Took the color well. Because it is a lighter weight it did not use as much dye. Sending to the Granddaughters.

Super cute and soft!
Size: 3T, Color: Light Mauve
Daughter fits very well in this pink pullover sweater. It’s true to size very pleased with the make of the sweater, it’s made very well very soft, is medium thickness and is warm for my daughter to wear in NY’s cool fall weather and now winter with a coat of course. Also is not to thick where wearing a coat could be an issue. Great value for your money in the product you are getting it washes well and stains come out easily sometimes with a little help. Great buy must have!
