“ A thorough analysis of infant feeding would have to relativize and contextualize the risks of infant-feeding methods much more rigorously and attend far more closely to the picture of family life, the politics of gender, and the domestic division of labor that are assumed in most work on the subject. [… I]nfant-feeding decisions ought to be explicitly understood as questions about balancing the labors, pleasures, well-being, development, and opportunities of a household's various members and, furthermore, as decisions that open, rather than assume the answer to, the question of who cares for children and in what ways. ”

Welcome to First the Egg, a collection of practical information, links, and cultural criticism. This site is a feminist intervention in our rigidly-gendered culture of childbirth and parenting. It aims to provide a nonsexist space for people who want to learn, reflect, commiserate, or laugh about being pregnant, giving birth, and helping children grow up whole and happy.
