Welcome to ParentData

You can ask Petey, ParentData’s AI librarian, a question at any time. Petey creates answers based on the universe of content on ParentData and Emily Oster’s best-selling books, along with links to relevant articles. If Petey does not have an answer, it will let our team know so we can consider the topic for the future. If you’d like to submit a question directly to Emily or our other contributors, you can do so here.

ParentData offers two paid subscriptions so you can easily personalize your experience based on where you are in your TTC, pregnancy, or parenting journey. Plus: Full access to ParentData.org plus your choice of newsletters in your inbox each week, on topics ranging from pregnancy to the post-reproductive years. Lifetime: Everything included in Plus — full access to ParentData.org and your choice of weekly newsletters — for a single one-time payment. Pay once, stay a member forever. Free: As a free subscriber, you can read limited articles on ParentData.org and receive occasional newsletters from Emily in your inbox.

To log in to ParentData, click here. You will be prompted to set up an account, where you can choose your subscription level. When you set up an account, you will receive an email at the address associated with your subscription that includes a “magic link.” Once you click that link, you will be logged in indefinitely and can enjoy the website. You can also choose to login with an email and password. If you have any issues setting up an account, please email ask@parentdata.org.

To log in to ParentData, click here. You can login via a “magic link” by entering your email address and clicking the button “Send my log-in link.” If you’d prefer to log-in with your email and password, you can do so as well. If you are having trouble with the “magic link,” ensure you are opening it within a web browser and not from your email client.

It’s easy to change your subscription from your Account page. First, make sure you are logged in to your ParentData account. From there, you can do the following: Change paid plan: When you change your subscription plan, you are immediately moved to your newly selected plan. If you downgrade your plan, your remaining balance will be distributed to your next payment(s). Cancel: This option will downgrade you to a free subscription from a paid subscription. Your plan will remain active until the end of your billing cycle; then you will transition to a free plan. Update billing info: Change your billing information or switch to an annual or monthly billing plan.

To change the card that’s on file, you can go to your Account page to manage payment information.

As a Plus or Lifetime subscriber, you can select the newsletters you want to receive. They are flexible, so you can sign up for as many as you like and choose what fits you and your family best.
