My mom had a Cassett nursing print over her bed when I was a little girl. It got very junked out over the years and after I left home she tossed it. I was devastated as I wanted it for my family bed.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of my toddler and myself :) those little feet and hands! your 'on breastfeeding' series is one of my favorite, love all the images you find to share!
ReplyDeletethere's nothing more beautiful than a mommy breastfeeding!
ReplyDeleteHi Leigh, if you don't already know this artist, I think his painting would be a good adition to your breastfeeding series.
