Love this art 💕

Before pumps were invented, if you couldn't nurse, you expressed milk by hand (...) this method is still common."

(La Leche League International, 2024)

🧡 This sculpture - Idole de fécondité - from the 4th millennium BC is a wonderful depiction of a mother hand expressing milk into a bowl.
