I wish this had been out when my son was younger - the data-based format is strongest in the early chapters, where there have actually been studies on things like sleep training. A lot of the later chapters are basically “there haven't been enough studies, probably whatever you decide to do is fine,” which is reassuring in a way but not all that helpful when it comes to decision-making. I think this would be good as a gift to new parents but it's of limited utility once your kid is older. Oster is still a very entertaining writer, though, and makes the potentially-dry subject matter both funny and fun to read.
