...Although donating breast milk is becoming more mainstream - Nadya Suleman's octuplets have been consuming donated milk - cross-nursing still conjures up the specter of wet-nursing, with all its class issues and antiquated notions about women's bodies yoked in service to others. The official word on cross-nursing is still nix. It seems that no institution, even those that support milk-sharing, is willing to endorse women who offer their milk without a breast pump serving as an intermediary. The Human Milk Banking Association of North America, which screens and distributes donated milk to hospitals across...
...parents, who were given a free 12-passenger van, Pampers for life, furniture, food and a custom-built house. Last spring, when Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar got pregnant with their 18th child, they announced it on the Today show, and their reality-TV show launched that fall. When Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth to octuplets on Jan. 26, she got revulsion, ridicule and death threats.

"All I wanted was children," she said. "It turned out imperfectly." She also explained that six embryos were implanted in each of the IVF procedures that resulted in her previous six children. This time, apparently, all of them took, and she decided to bring them all to term. Asked how she was going to care for such an enormous family, Suleman said she was returning...
This much seems certain. According to her mother Angela Suleman, all 14 of Nadya's children were conceived through IVF with the same sperm donor. Nadya confirmed in a TV interview that six were implanted, with two resulting in twins. The sperm donor remains unidentified; one person ruled out was Nadya's ex-husband Marcos Gutierrez (their divorce was finalized last year). Angela told the Associated Press that her daughter opted for IVF treatment because her Fallopian tubes were "plugged up" and that she decided to have more children so the frozen embryos left over from her previous fertilizations wouldn...
