Estelle Royle Peters melted hearts when she shared an adorable moment on the Facebook page "Breastfeeding Mama Talk." In the photo, her toddler can be seen attempting to "breastfeed" her newborn sister. Estelle humorously mentioned, "The older one is purple and blue from blueberries."
The image captures the eldest daughter, dressed only in a diaper, leaning over her baby sister in an attempt to mimic their mother's nursing.

This precious moment has garnered over 2,400 likes since being shared on Saturday.
