newborn octuplets

BELLFLOWER, Calif. – Newborn octuplets in Southern California are a feisty bunch that appear healthy even at nine weeks premature, a doctor said Tuesday.

Three babies are being given oxygen but appeared to be doing well, said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. Two of the newborns were initially on ventilators but no longer need them.

At least four could be ready for their first oral feeding later Tuesday.

"All babies were delivered vigorous, crying, kicking. Everyone was very excited," said Dr. Karen E. Maples, chief of service for obstetrics and gynecology and the physician who personally delivered Baby No. 8.

The mother, who has not been identified, gave birth Monday to the six boys and two girls weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces, and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. She was resting comfortably Tuesday and was elated at welcoming eight children to her family, Gupta said.

The eighth baby surprised the parents and doctors who had prepared to deliver seven children.

"It is quite easy to miss a baby when you're anticipating seven," said Dr. Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine and one of 46 doctors, nurses and assistants who delivered the children by Caesarean section.

Two of the newborns — the second live octuplets born in U.S. history — were initially put on ventilators but were later removed.

The mother checked into the hospital in her 23rd week of pregnancy. Hospital officials would not say whether she had used fertility drugs, which make multiple births more likely.

The babies — dubbed with the letters A-through-H — will probably remain in the hospital for at least two months and the mother could be released in a week.

The world's first live octuplets were born in March 1967 in Mexico City, but all died within 14 hours, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

The United States' first live octuplets were born in Houston in 1998, three months premature. The tiniest died a week after the birth. The surviving siblings turned 10 in December.

Octo Mom Offered Year's Free Clothes for 14 KidsBy Us Magazine

Nadya Suleman drops two of her older children off at a church day care in Whittier, California on February 27, 2009.Us Magazine Looks like Octo Mom Nadya Suleman and Angelina Jolie have another thing in common: the same designer is outfitting their kids!

Baby brand Custom Kingdom has reached out to the Suleman -- who has no job and supports her family on food stamps -- to donate clothing for all 14 of her children.

"We understand the financial strain one child can put on a family, let alone 14 little ones, so we would like to do our part and donate clothing from our line," the company says in a letter released exclusively to Usmagazine.com.


The company -- which also sent its cute "I'm Out on Parole" onesies to Knox and Viv after their July birth -- will "provide at least $500 in clothing each month, for one year."


Custom Kingdom has offered to send its own favorite designs each month, or let Suleman's kids select. And if the family is still struggling with funds after a year, the company -- which sells brands like Ninja, iPoo and Security on its Web site -- has agreed to continue sending clothes.

Earlier this month, Octo Mom's original PR team set up a Web site that accepted credit cards and listed an address to send gifts.

Suleman's mom, Angela, told The Insider Thursday that she'd "opt" for adoption if her daughter couldn't pay for the kids. Angela's southern California bungalow -- where all the kids reside -- is currently in foreclosure.

Meanwhile, the octuplets -- who just turned one month old -- are continuing to improve.

"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," their doctor said in a statement Thursday.

"Our nurses can't help but smile as each in turn gets stronger," the statement continued.
