5.0

I listened to the majority of this on a library audiobook, but thought it was so good that I just went and bought the book to reference. This is in the same vein as Expecting Better, but this time, rather than focusing on pregnancy, it's a data-driven guide to parenting a baby and young children. The book doesn't take many strong stances (except for obvious ones, like vaccines: they work, surprise!), but rather breaks down the evidence on major questions people taking care of babies and children will likely run into. I am a big fan of this approach, as a chronic over-researcher. Data gives me less anxiety! I am sure I will reference this book many times over the next few years.

Is this my way of announcing we are having a baby in August? Yes. Yes it is.
