emily oster is so into these soft pants... and helping parents chill the f out
Description
Emily Oster is my motherhood messiah. I consider myself to be a pretty relaxed mom, but I certainly didn’t start out that way. Emily’s data-based parenting approach is to thank for that.
Anytime I’m starting to bug out about whether sleep training is going to mess up my baby for life, or if my kid is going to go to college only eating chicken fingers, or whether letting my kids watch an extra hour of TV is going to turn them into ding dongs — there’s Emily, giving me the data-backed reasons why I should chill the F out and just enjoy the ride.
Emily is the author of three data-based books on pregnancy and parenting as well as the newsletter , and in the very first episode of So Into That, she teaches us how to pull off soft pants at work, and how to relax as parents.
