     I don't know, but I am in pain just thinking about it.

    No kidding. I went through a pack of diapers in a week with just Mary. I couldn't imagine the cost of diapers.

  • I saw the "Breaking News" story about it earlier.  Apparently they thought she was "only" pregnant with 7...the 8th was a "surprise" that had never shown up on any ultrasound.  The doctor also said that she's planning to breastfeed ALL 8 of them...Yeah...that makes me feel like a HUGE failure as I couldn't even BF Sarah!  Oh well...

    You are SO not a failure. I can't even imagining BFing one. I'm sure I'll give it a try but I'm not sure it's for me. 

  • C-R-A-Z-Y is all i can say!!!  Yikes! 
  • That would be hell for me in more ways than I'd like to think of right now...
  • That's crazy. I can't even imagine.

    How is it physically possible to bf 8 babies? I guess 2 at a time but holy crap, she'd have a baby on her boobs practically all day long. I could see exclusively pumping and then supplementing where needed. Oh, man....how the heck is she going to have enough milk for 8?!

    Seriously! I dont think its possible to produce enough milk. Plus thats ALL she would be doing. BFing one baby takes up enough time.

    Seriously. It's a nice idea, and she might be able to do some, but there is no way all 8 will be able to be BF exclusively, on top of the diper changes and sleepless nights. I just don't see how that's possible.

    Reminds me of Apu on The Simpsons.
