Kaiser Permanente Releases Octuplets Update
Copyright 2009 / The Insider
The hospital where Nadya Suleman's octuplets are being held have released a statement on the health of the newborns.

According to the hospital, all eight babies are thriving and no longer require intravenous supplemental nutrition. They are all gaining weight and continue being fed donated pasteurized breast milk.

"At one month old, the babies are doing well," Mandhir Gupta, MD., Neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center tells ET. "They are alert and responsive to the care our nurses are providing them. In fact, we are slowly introducing them to nipple or bottle feeding a few times a day, and they're getting better and better at coordinating sucking, swallowing and breathing. Our nurses can't help but smile as each in turn gets stronger."

  • I breastfed my quints for the first 3 months. I had enough for them. Your body makes what it needs. Supply and demand.

  • I had quintuplets one month before Nadya and I didn't get anything. No help was offered and I definately did not get paid anything. All I got was a bashing for using fertility meds. These babies are my first and last babies. I know how to be a...

  • I agree, when the hoopla is over and she is alone to care for this litter, maybe she will come down to earth and realize what she's done. Also that plastic surgery must have a cost a lot. Those lips are disgusting. Her "before" pictures show her...

  • I know what she did was wrong but she did it and now it's the children who are going to suffer if we don't step up. I think she has realized what she did was wrong but she can't take it back, and now she is trying her best to take care of 14...

  • Shame on Kaiser! My monthly premium went up 35% with no explanation at all this year, I dread to see what the premiums will be next year.

  • The babies should NOT go home with this woman. Each one needs a functional parent, preferably two, with some resources to provide financial, emotional and parenting support.

  • Nadya Suleman is probably this year's most annoying, arrogant, self-centered personality. She cares only about herself - what people think about her. Should she take on a "reality show" (would anyone really watch it?). How much more like Angelina...
