The instant New York Times bestseller!An NPR Book of the YearFrom the author of Expecting Better, an economist's guide to the early years of parenting."e;The book is jampacked with information, but it's also a delightful read because Oster is such a good writer."e;NPR 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 ruleor threefor 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 Cribsheetis a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expertand mom of twowho can empower us to make better, less fraught decisionsand stay sane in the years before preschool.

"A guide to navigating a second pregnancy when the first did not go as planned-with Dr. Nathan Fox, Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. In Expecting Better, Emily Oster revolutionized the pregnancy landscape with her data-driven approach. In the years since, she kept hearing questions from readers on how to approach a second pregnancy when the first has not gone as planned. The Unexpected is a book that Oster hopes no one needs--but in reality, 50 percent of pregnancies include complications, and we don't talk about it. Preeclampsia, miscarriage, hyperemesis gravidarum, preterm birth, postpartum depression: these are lonely experiences, and that isolation makes treatment harder to access--and crucial research and policy change less likely to happen. The Unexpected lays out the data on recurrence and treatments shown to lower or mitigate risk for these conditions in subsequent pregnancies. It also provides readers roadmaps to facilitate productive conversations with their providers, with insights from lauded maternal fetal medicine specialist Dr. Nathan Fox. By bridging the knowledge gap and making space for difficult conversations, The Unexpected promises to make the hardest parts of pregnancy a little bit less so"--

¿Cuál es el peor miedo al que te has enfrentado durante el embarazo?Es natural que al recibir la noticia pases de la emoción a un mar de preguntas y cuidados basados en creencias populares o experiencias ajenas. Todos te dan consejos sin que se los pidas y son más los mitos que las verdades.

Ella descubrió información basada en estudios científicos que te liberará de muchos pensamientos y hábitos errados desde las primeras semanas de gestación hasta el parto. Por ejemplo, tomar café no afecta en el desarrollo de tu bebé, puedes comer jamón serrano sin preocupaciones y beber una copa de vino al día no te hará daño. Llegó la hora de dejar de consultar a Google y de vivir el embarazo sin angustias.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Emily Oster is the non-judgmental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood.
