20 photos that show there’s no love like that between a mother and her child

Moms are fierce.

No matter what species they belong to they love hard and protect their little ones at all costs. There’s nothing they wouldn’t do for them.

Moms are proud of accomplishments large and small and these 20 photos are proof.

1. Waiting in the wings

Sometimes kids hardly have to do a thing to make their moms proud – for the most part, they just have to exist.

Just look at this mom in the background during her son’s turn at bat.

This is one of my favorite pics of my mom even though she isn’t even in focus. Hope you guys enjoy it. Photo by Kevin Lein from r/pics

2. The nuzzle

Humans certainly aren’t the only creatures on earth who love their offspring.

And when we’re little, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a moment to yourself with her.

3. The greatest protector

Moms can develop super strength when protecting their children.

But sometimes just putting on the “mom seat belt” is enough.

4. Mom hugs

Mom can’t hug all of her babies at once, but she sure can try.

And that moment when you’re the one in her arms is the most special time of all.

5. Moms are gonna mom

Moms are moms to everyone – no matter who or what they are. That mothering instinct kicks in what there’s a baby in need.

This photo proves that even between species, mom-ness prevails.

6. Glam girls

Many little girls have a memory of their mom helping them get ready for a big event – or even just for dress-up.

A photo of the moment is priceless, but the memories are ones we hold onto.

7. Happiness is being together

Mothers and children have their trying moments, but it’s these beautiful moments of love and affection that create a bond that cannot be broken.

8. Weathering the storms

Whether a tough day is literal or figurative, mom will always be there to help her children weather the storm.

They’re our greatest protectors.

9. A moment to herself

Moms never really get a moment alone.

Sometimes they just have to force the issue and take it as it comes.

10. You gotta get through mom first

No harm will come to a child as long as its mother is around.

You’re going to have to get through mama first – and good luck with that no matter what species she is!

11. Immediate mom

This dog gave birth just hours earlier but her mothering instinct and pride took over in those very first moments.

Doesn’t she look happy?

12. Piggyback ride

Moms have to take their kids everywhere until they can get around on their own.

But these kiddos are traveling in style.

Bathtime is better when mom is there.

She always knows how to make things fun!

14. Proud mama

Graduation ceremonies can be tedious, but many families learned this year that they’re an important part of celebrating a huge accomplishment – and one that mothers are extra proud of.

15. Baby mine

That adoring look is something most kids don’t remember but those moments of feeling safe stay with them for a lifetime.

16. Up close

Moms get very little personal space.

But sometimes it’s nice to have your little one snuggled up tight against you.

17. A photo to last a lifetime

Memories are special things you can keep for yourself, but if your mom is gone you’ll be glad you posed for that photo with her.

Last photo I had with my mom and me. I’ll never forget this night, she was soo proud of me for sticking it out and getting my diploma. This was a year before she passed unexpectedly. I love you so much mom and I know your watching over me❤️ from r/lastimages

18. The safest place

Mom makes a great pillow.

And you know you’re always going to be safe when you’re next to her.

19. Happy days

Many moms remember the day their children were born as the happiest of their lives.

We don’t know what kind of memories other animals maintain, but this little mama sure looks like she’s having a day to remember.

20. Still lifting like a champ

This mom can still lift her 21-year-old daughter.

No one is ever too old for mom hugs!
