Why people recommend it
Cribsheet by Emily Oster is a data-driven parenting book that analyzes the empirical research behind early childhood development, sleep, potty training, and nutrition. Saagar Enjeti recommended the book on Breaking Points, urging all expectant parents to read the volume alongside the author's previous pregnancy guide. Steve Levitt discussed the book with Emily Oster on People I (Mostly) Admire, noting that while the text follows the same spirit as her earlier work, it was likely harder to write because early childhood data are far less extensive and conclusive than pregnancy data. Gabor Maté brought up Cribsheet on The Rich Roll Podcast during a critical discussion concerning certain modern parenting advice and approaches found in contemporary literature. Emily Oster herself appeared on EconTalk to discuss the tone differences between her first book and Cribsheet, reflecting on how her personal conflicts with medical professionals influenced her writing style. Dan Pfeiffer also mentioned reading the book on Pod Save America to prepare and understand data surrounding school reopening strategies during public health crises. Across these podcasts, the book is recognized for its rigorous economic lens on everyday parenting choices.

“so creep cheat which is your second book about child ring is very much in the same Spirit as expecting better but in many ways I think harder to write because the data are not nearly as extensive or as conclusive on child during as they are on pregnancy”
