About this ebook
Get the Summary of Emily Oster's Cribsheet in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting.
As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision?

This was a poor summary. The summary was not written clearly, with points that didn’t seem to follow each other, and some contradictory content. I don’t feel that reading this summary was a good substitute for reading the book.1 person found this helpful

#1
After giving birth, many women experience a sense of confusion and disorientation. This is normal, and will pass. However, certain decisions must be made, such as breastfeeding or vaccination protocols, about which the author is ambivalent.
#2
The decision to circumcise or not circumcise your baby is a very personal one, and one that many parents find themselves facing. The author personally believes that circumcision is not necessary, and that parents should decide for themselves if they want to have their son circumcised or not.
#3
You should also consider what your preferences are when it comes to your newborn’s genitalia. Are you okay with the appearance of his penis, or would you prefer it to look like his father’s. These are questions you need to ask yourself.
#4
The benefits of male circumcision have been disputed, with some claiming that it is a form of mutilation, while others argue that it prevents urinary tract infections and improves hygiene.
#5
There are risks and benefits to circumcision. The first is the prevention of urinary tract infections in boys. The second is a lower risk of penile cancer. The decision on whether or not to circumcise your son should be based on his personal preference, some sort of cultural association, or just his desire to have his son’s penis look a particular way.
#6
A hearing test is also done on the baby, and is usually conducted via a machine. It is a good idea to have your baby tested even if they appear to be fine, as hearing problems are quite common in newborns.
#7
If you are in a hospital that doesn’t allow for babies to be in the same room as their mothers, you may want to consider switching hospitals. There is a clear trade-off between the amount of sleep you’ll get and the comfort of your baby.
#8
The main purported benefit of rooming in is that it improves breastfeeding
