I love all the photos -- and plan to purchase a calendar; thanks for the tip.
 
My personal theory:  the photo is provocative because the mother is looking at *the camera* (which means, right at the person looking at *her*) while her baby is BF.  I do think American audiences are more skittish about any BF photo; recall the ridiculous hullabaloo when one of the major-market baby mags had a close-up picture of a baby-at-breast on its cover.  Recall too the elegant picture of Jerry Hall (Mick Jagger's ex) nursing her babe:  she, too, was looking at the camera, and it made people squirm.
