📚#bookreview “Informed” and “evidence based” is a bit of a buzzword at the moment for some parents and parents-to-be. When a new parent says “fed is best” (perhaps to ease their guilt when they’ve started using formula, I know that’s when I said it), now “informed is best” is being slapped back. Like “well, just as long as you know you’re not doing the best thing, then go ahead”. But how informed really are these people? What evidence are they referring to? Do they know the difference between good research and mediocre research? Maybe they’ve been informed by Daily Mail articles? I like being informed, and with real information but god knows there’s plenty of fake news out there. I work in research day-in and day-out at a research intensive university and even I didn’t know the difference between research methods and how good each is, so this book has been an education on several levels. Please don’t forward this to by boss 😆. Cribsheet is written by a professor in health economics, a Harvard graduate. She’s interpreted the best global research into the context of the most pressing American parenthood questions. Most of these work for parents in the UK and some don’t apply, for example references to their health system and hospitals, questions around daycare Vs nannies - I don’t know anyone with a nanny here - and childminders aren’t covered. Each paragraph ends with a really nice, succinct, bullet summary and I had to fight myself not to skip straight to it 😆. So if you want to know what the data really says about ‘breast is best’, baby sleep habits, routine, sleep training, milestones, potty training and everything else in between then give this book a good read. And if you’re not the type to want to read about parenting, that’s fine too. You do you. I don’t see intuitive and informed parenting as mutually exclusive. I’m just gutted I didn’t read ‘Expecting better,’ the author’s other book, while I was pregnant. If you’ve read this book let me know what you think. Do you plan to read it now? @profemilyoster #cribsheet #positiveparenting #raisingtinyhumans #sleeptraining #postpartumlife #maternalhealth #breastisbest #fedisbest
Birdie loves books at the moment, so now seemed a good time to get her on the feminazi propaganda. So excited to read these with her tomorrow! 💁‍♀️ Any recommendations for good board books happily received. Any type of story or picture reference style, but we like the ones that rhyme best! 🤓 #feministbookclub #feministbaby #feelgoodmotherhood #girlpower #futureisfemale #babybookworm #bookishplay #tradtokids #ninemonths
