Good luck to her though, I hope they all do well

She will pump breastmilk initially, and they'll be fed via ng tube. Even if she manages to do that for a week or so, they still get vital immunity from it. Tis the best start especially since they are premature.

All that aside, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes. I hope they all thrive, but having had 2 kids within 17 months of each other, I can't imagine the strain.

can you imagine wheeling an 8 birth pram around...lol
Its bad enough with twins and prams. I could spin my pram round on a pin

Mind you at least when she goes shopping and puts the bags on the back, there will be enough weight in the front to stop it from falling backwards

Cripes the money! How much is it gonna cost to feed that rabble when they get a bit older!!! Doesn't bear thinking about

[dizzyblonde]

I seem to remember somewhere that on average it costs 20 grand to bring up a child in the first five years, sometimes as much as 40.

Gah if I have kids they'll be brought up on home baking and veggies in the back garden LOL

You'd bring them up in the back garden...???? lol


Still costs though. Its clothing and nappies, that eats the biggest chunk. Feeding them isn't too bad, when they are really young, its when they get to Dylans age that feeding gets costly, school dinners, faddy eaters, hungry....hungry!

Eight, gawd I'd go grey, just thinking about it

oh good luck to her, i dont envy her, didnt she do well..................hang on, did she manage all by herself, no she didnt.
lets see a little attention to the father.

Jayjus,
