I’m currently reading Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool by Emily Oster. It tackles the common questions involving infants and toddlers through analysis of research in those areas.

Love Oster and her works. She’s great for summarizing what is actually out there. Not exactly evidence based, but “Be Prepared” is a whimsical and helpful parenting aid for the first year that I enjoyed. The American Association of Pediatrics and the CDC both have parenting sites which I have used over the years, but I’m honestly not sure how evidence based they are.

Even as a non-parent her work is fascinating. I really enjoyed her interview on the Ezra Klein podcast (https://www.vox.com/ezra-klein-show-podcast https://www.vox.com/ezra-klein-show-podcast)

Yes! I found Oster's book on pregnancy very enlightening, so this is definitely on my reading list.
