Crib Sheet: A data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool
Crib Sheet by Emily Oster
4/5. A how to decide book more than a how to book. E.g., what the data says about circumcision, potty training timing, safe sleep, etc. This book will clearly lay out which of the many supposed short and long term impacts of breastfeeding have actually been demonstrated to be true (a few, but not that many) but won't tell you how to breastfeed if you want to. I liked this and will keep it around for later references on sleep training and early education. And in general I found this to be a better book than her first.
Mostly, I'm just grateful for the section on the safety of light drinking while breastfeeding, because my god. I want a dark and stormy so bad right now, I could cry.

Within a few weeks they'll be flipping over anyway and then you'll have no say about it. But the biological drive off protectiveness doesn't give up.
