On the first page of the Breastfeeding Gallery section of the ProMom site,
there is a disclaimer: "Remember, imagery other than clipart and classic artwork
now public domain, is copyrighted to their respective copyright holders, and are not
available for downloading, copying, or distributing in any form."  I think that it is
pretty clear from that statement that ProMom is not making a claim for ownership of
the clip art images.
I think the ProMom people would love to hear from Lesley, and ask her if she'd like
to be credited with the clip art, and maybe linked to if, for example, she has a graphic
design business on the web.

art collection to them)
