Cualquier madre o padre primerizo sabe que amigos, familiares, médicos y hasta extraños en internet lanzan una gran cantidad de consejos, a menudo contradictorios, sobre la crianza de tu bebé. Desde los primeros días, los padres deben tomar muchas decisiones --lactancia, vacunas, horarios para dormir, elegir guardería-- en las que cabe la posibilidad de arruinarlo todo. ¿Cómo elegir la mejor opción? ¿A quién creerle? La galardonada economista Emily Oster se dio a la tarea de indagar y desmentir la información más divulgada sobre el embarazo y la crianza, y descubrió que gran parte de esa sabiduría popular es errónea. En Criar sin mitos encontrarás los datos comprobados de su investigación que te permitirán tomar mejores decisiones en tu parto y en los primeros años de tus hijos. La autora y madre de dos pequeños desacredita los mitos sobre la lactancia materna (no es la panacea), detalla cuál es el mejor entrenamiento para dormir y para que los niños vayan al baño solos (es probable que debas esperar hasta que estén listos o los debas sobornar con M&Ms), explica la importancia de la adquisición del lenguaje (los que comienzan a hablar antes no son necesariamente genios), entre otros temas. También les muestra a los padres cómo reincorporarse al trabajo, pensar en la disciplina de los niños pequeños y tener una relación de pareja y ser padres al mismo tiempo. Esta es una guía informada para tomar la mejores (y menos complicadas) decisiones, y mantenernos cuerdos antes de que vayan al preescolar.

"From the author of EXPECTING BETTER, an economist's guide to the early years of parenting 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 great 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 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--or three--for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the tradeoffs 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 CRIBSHEET is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert--and mom of two--who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions--and stay sane in the years before preschool"--From publisher.
