Glad they didn't overlook one or two. I nursed my four children for two years each, and that was close to a full-time job for the first six months with each. Does the mother have eight nipples on her belly?

I’m trying to figure out the logistics of breast feeding eight babies. Are there enough hours in the day???

“Rare” octuplets, you say?
I say “Well Done!” :)

I’m really scratching my head on the nursing them all. I nursed my 3 also, for extended time, but I can’t see how I could have nursed 8! She will never do anything but suckle a baby if she really does that. However, maybe her plan is just to do it for the first few months to get them started.

And yes, it’s easy to miss one when you have a litter of puppies (yes we often sonogram) so I expect it would be easy to miss one in a mass pregnancy in humans as well.

8, wow. I cannot imagine what their life is going to be like for the next 10 or 12 years—and then 8 teenagers! Oh my!

Not one word about the father. I wonder why?

At first glance, I thought the heading said ‘octopus’. Now that would be newsworthy.

If she does, then she can nurse while laying on her side. It will make things a lot easier!

Send 'em back to the kitchen!

Will she knock Jon and Kate plus 8 off the air??
