Re: Lets talk - California Octuplets!!!

Can you imagine, you bought 7 cribs, strollers, etc and now you need one more?

How do you get anything done with 8 babies? I mean it's difficult to keep the house in order with one!

I think it would be so cute to have 8 of my puppies, but what a mess the house would be!

Re: Lets talk - California Octuplets!!!

Is that even possible, to BF 8 babies????????????????
She is going to be some multi-tasker... BF/eating for herself/sleeping/pumping all at the same time probably

Re: Lets talk - California Octuplets!!!

she is definately going to need to reach out for help, I could not even imagine this. by the time she gets done breast feeding all 8 she will need to start all over again. it will be a never ending process. lots of prayers to her and her bundles of joy.

Re: Lets talk - California Octuplets!!!

By the time she is done BF all 8 she would have to start over with the next meal.

That's what I was thinking when they said how fast she delivered them. I know it was a C-section, but it was still fast. Eight...insane! They are going to need to be REEAALLY organized! God bless them!

Re: Lets talk - California Octuplets!!!

It's crazy...I don't know how that family will handle 8 infants all at once...can you imagine if any of them are colicy

It seems as if she def had them due to fertility drugs (and alot of them) or invitro or artificial insemination (guessing almost all her eggs got fertilized)

Oh god.. I would never be able to do this.. I give credit to those women who are out there doing it.. Can you imagine what she must be thinking, now that they are all here and breathing on their own..

Re: Lets talk - California Octuplets!!!

I just wonder how it's even possible for her to nurse all of them. She's ALWAYS going to have one of them on her boob. Nursing one takes time, so imagine eight.
