(NSFW) What CD cover has a perplexed baby looking up (see details)

The little guy is looking up at a single taut boob with a nipple-ring, so he is perplexed what to do. (It’s more artful than it sounds.)
I saw this CD in the store quite a few years ago and was mesmerized, but I don’t remember the band name. Any ideas?
I think it had a completely white background.

Nope.
It’s such an artistic photograph. I’m surprised it’s not famous.
Over the years the subject will come up and I’ll spend quite some time looking, and then petering out on like page 61 of the Google image searach engine.
I’ll inevitably find something interesting though, like this.
Photograph it and link it here.
?
I’m trying to find it. I’ll gladly link it if someone can help me with a band name. My keyword search has been fruitless over the years.
I looked allll over for you. These kinds of things drive me crazy when I can’t find them. The only thing off the top of my head remotely like it would be Mother’s Milk. Are you positive of the image?
@kikibirdjones Yes. Positive! I was in Hollywood at the Tower Records at 8801 Sunset Blvd. (now closed), I’m guessing circa~2004. It was at the aisle, in the second row on the right as you walk in – but I saw it last-second as I was walking out. A friend had already left the building so I didn’t want to be a slowpoke. Nevertheless, I stopped and picked it up and gazed at if for quite some time, dumbfound at the coolness of the photographic idea, but do not for the life of me remember the name of the band. I remember the look on the baby’s face as being perfectly “WTF do I do with this?”, and the ringed nipple boob being… ah… very taut – possibly legal. “Art”.
I have Mother’s Milk. It is not Mother’s Milk, although clearly inspired by it.
It is slightly possible that the CD was a used CD, and the photo showing on the cover was actually refolded from inside the overall composite cover artwork – but I suspect that is just remotely possible. Odds are much greater that the CD was an import – and the sexy photo was too much for US standards – hence not well known.
The only thing I can possibly grasp about the music itself, from my weak memory, was that I think I equated it to Björk – even though I had not heard the album, or even much of Björk’s work at the time. Maybe because the baby was bald? It could be punk for all I know.
Hmmmm….I’m gonna keep looking! I wonder if it was an indie or local release, making it harder to find?
