Here's a copy of the original. Looks like your child is a bit more gaunt than Bouguereau's.
The original has a roundness and pinkness to it. I'd consider your attempt a warm-up. Start over and measure measure measure.
I've said this before. Spend a year drawing. Put color aside and concentrate on form only. That's what I'm doing, and I'll be lucky if a year will be enough.
Sorry you're not getting pro critiques, but I feel my comments are valid just the same. I've refrained from critiques until now, because most of us want to hear from the pros. I'd rather an honest critique from a peer than none at all.
