Cribsheet

I really like Emily Oster. I like her writing style, her attitude towards parenting, and her ability to sort through academic papers and provide me with easy to understand summaries. Expecting Better really helped me navigate my pregnancy, and while much of the information in Cribsheet is less conclusive, it gives me a lot of comfort to know where research has/hasn't been done, and the fact that the conclusion she draws in almost every scenario is, “This will not break your child or damage their adult life.” Highly recommended for fellow anxious first time parents.
