There was a TV program on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood about  
breastfeeding.  It was called "Mr. Rogers Talks About Food" (#1536).  
It was shown repeatedly, often around Thanksgiving.  It showed a pig  
with piglets, a cow and calf, a cat and kittens, a goat with two  
kids, and 3 human mothers (up close - no mistaking what the babies  
were doing at the breast, with milk dripping from the nipple).  In  
addition, one human mother is shown bottle-feeding.  All this is in  
about 3 minutes, near the start of the show.  Perhaps if you  
contacted National Public Television you might be able to get a copy.

If that doesn't work out, consider the book by Chia Martin,  
illustrated by Shukyo Lin Ramey, called "We Like to Nurse."  It shows  
fourteen different animal pairs nursing, ending with a human mother  
and baby.  The pages tend to fall apart after multiple readings, but  
it is a favorite with nursing toddlers.  It was published by Hohm  
Press in 1995.

A newer book compares a bird and a human mother as they prepare for  
the births and then care for their babies.  It is called "Mama  
Outside, Mama Inside."  The author is Dianna Hutts Aston, and it is  
illustrated by Susan Gaaber (Henry Holt, 2006).  There is one  
breastfeeding illustration.  The "outside" mama is the bird, the  
"inside" mama is the human.  The fathers help care for the babies as  
well.
