Summary
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'Emily Oster is the non-judgemental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way' Amy Schumer
Parenting is full of decisions, nearly all of which can be agonized over. There is an abundance of often- onflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. 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 and offers non-judgemental ways to consider our options in light of the facts. Cribsheet is a thinking parent's guide that empowers us to make better, less fraught decisions - and stay sane in the years before preschool.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic book
A truly honest and insightful guide to more relaxed parenting. I enjoyed every minute and couldn’t wait to listen. I found it so relatable to my life with 2 kids. Highly recommend for expecting parents and parents of young children. I’m only sorry I didn’t hear about this book 3 years ago.

Worth a read for new and old parents
A pretty good place to start when you’re looking for some advice on decisions for your family and possibly more importantly for reminding yourself that doing what works for you and your baby is likely what’s best most of the time. We’re on baby 2 and it would’ve helped to read it before baby 1.

Every question answered
I love Oster’s data driven approach to all the questions parents have in the early years. An enjoyable read as much as it is informative.

a good overview
Narrator made it easy to listen, book content was good. It's a difficult subject as so much is personal choice but the author is good at making this clear.

fascinating
Emily is critical, funny, and understanding. critical in her study of the data available to us to make more informed choices. Funny in sharing real life stories from her own parenting experience. Understanding that we all want what is best for our kids and sometimes something that works for one family may not for another.

Yes! Just, yes!
I love this book. I trust Emily to have thoroughly searched for the data and it’s a gift to be given a simple summary bullet point on relative impact. This has saved me from the endless internet rabbit holes that were driving me crazy. Excellent work Emily! Much appreciated!
