11 Beautiful pictures and experiences of breastfeeding moms

Few things in this world are more beautiful than the bond a mother shares with her baby. Specifically when a mother is nursing her infant.

It's a unique experience each and every time a mother spends time nursing her child, and while it happens often during a baby's development, that doesn't mean that we can't celebrate and savor each and every time a mom feeds her baby!

"I never thought I'd enjoy breastfeeding as much as I did," says Karyn Agosto, of North Andover, Massachusetts.
