Nice work. You have captured a mother's joy in her newborn in a most intimate and sensitive way. I also like the composition and your choice of a nearly square format.

I agree with Michele in that the mother's teeth should be de-emphasized. I'd also like to see the contrast of the shadow lessened a little on those fabric folds in the background behind the mother (upper left)....foreground is OK.
