Introduction

Freakonomics MD Bob Pujena will talk with economist Emla Fitzsigman about her new study on breastfeeding. The research looked at whether babies born over the weekend are less likely to be breastfed compared to those born during the week. It found evidence that it may be contributing to persistence and generational transmission and inequalities. Also, author Emily Oster explains how she tries to help parents make big decisions using data.
