Ok, so here's my first post to Lactnet after quite awhile lurking. My name is Gina Gile-Maves. I have been an LLLL for about seven years...I'm mom to four kids (ages 4mos-8 1/2 yrs). My family lives on a military base in Misawa, Japan. About the puppies suckling art...on a related note Japanese television has shown a woman nursing a cat several times. I don't understand the Japanese language, so I have absolutely NO idea why. Gina in Japan <[log in to unmask]>
