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.

Emily Oster is a professor of economics at Brown University and the author of Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know. She was a speaker at the 2007 TED conference and her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Esquire. Oster is married to economist Jesse Shapiro and is also t...

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。

送给待产朋友的礼物。作者是Brown的经济学家，这种用正经科学研究说话的育儿书比“经验之谈”靠谱多了，而且给新父母的take-away是：不用担心，没那么严重，那些口口相传新妈妈必须做的事情其实没那么要紧

> 这是根植于人类内心的欲望，你的选择对你而言就是对的，但不代表对别人来说也是最好的。为什么呢？因为你不是别人，你的情况和别人不一样，你的偏好也不一样，用经济学的术语来讲就是你们的约束条件不一样。当经济学家讨论人们如何做出最优选择的时候，我们通常说的是人们在约束条件下的利益最大化。

斯波克博士对于母乳喂养的看法是妈妈们应该尝试一下，看看自己是不是喜欢这样，他简单提了一下母乳喂养可以预防孩子感染病菌，之后他又接着说：“关于母乳喂养最有力的证据都是从那些母乳喂养的妈妈口中说出来的，因为这些妈妈能从别人做不到但她们可以做到的这种自得心态以及母乳喂养带来的和孩子之间的亲密关系当中获取巨大的满足感。”

> ◆ 有一些大致的关于孩子睡眠安排的指导：　○ 孩子2个月的时候晚间的睡眠会拉长。　○ 4个月的时候孩子会有规律地白天睡三觉。　○ 9个月的时候孩子会有规律地白天睡两觉。　○ 15到18个月之间的时候孩子会有规律地睡一觉。　○ 3岁的时候孩子白天可以不用小睡了。◆ 不同的孩子日程的规划也完全不同，你几乎很难去掌控。◆ 孩子之间最一致的睡眠特征就是他们几乎都是在早上6点到8点之间醒来。◆ 晚上睡得早=睡觉的时间更久。
