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."
