Awwww! Otter! Nursing baby otter! Cleaning toes! A trifecta of cuteness!

When kids see breastfeeding as "mommy taking care of baby", they understand that it is normal and good. My little nephew would "nurse" his stuffed animals sometimes. He just knew it was a way to take care of something you love.
