This is a guess!
When I carried my daughter as a baby/youngster, it was in my left arm
because I was right-handed and I needed my right hand for other things,
e.g. handing my daughter something, wiping spit-up, giving a bottle,
etc. Artists may have just copied mothers with children as they saw
them, assuming right-handedness was as common then as now. As for the
other image, is it not assumed that we "read" images left to right just
as we read? And beginning with a pair of feet rather than with a face
would be esthetically displeasing.
As I said, this is a guess and totally off the top of my head. I may
have to delve into "Never mind."
