Octo-Mom: how to care for 14 children

Nadya Suleman is home caring for her six children and getting ready for 8 to come home. The single mom without a job has also been doing a lot of interviews. In the latest one to The Sun, Suleman says she still can't wrap her head around how she'll get 14 children to the park (I'd say that's the least of her problems.) If she's looking for insight, some moms of multiple births offered some tips.

They say the donations dry up after the first year as the newness wears off, the media doesn't call anymore and you're left with the financial stress of raising 14 children. A study of 250 mothers of multiple births in the U.S. found that with each additional child, mom's ability to meet her children's basic needs diminished.

Now that the shock has worn off, maybe we can all offer Nadya Suleman some constructive advice.
