We'll check out the world of wildlife, with naturalist and artist Rosemary Conroy, as hordes of wild mothers show off their brand new woodland babies.

And we'll look at the politics behind how much acceptance human mothers get when they breast feed their babies, in a conversation with UNH Sociology Professor Linda Blum.

We'll also hear some sweet words of woe from Nancy Oleson, a mom whose kids are embarrassed simply by her existence. Nancy's piece comes to NHPR from The Public Radio Exchange
