By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCribsheet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs 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‚Äîor three‚Äîfor 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? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArmed 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\u0026amp;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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEconomics is the science of decision-making, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCribsheet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years.
