Emily Oster

Author

Emily Oster is an American economist, professor at Brown University, and author whose data-driven approach to parenting has helped millions of parents make evidence-based decisions. She holds a PhD in Economics from Harvard. Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool analyses the research... behind common parenting decisions — breastfeeding, sleep training, vaccinations, childcare — and separates the evidence from the anxiety. Her earlier book Expecting Better applied the same approach to pregnancy. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers evidence-based parenting guidance that replaces guilt and anxiety with data — practical help for parents who want facts, not fear.
