LOS ANGELES — Nadya Suleman has all her babies home. The last of the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets was released from a hospital in suburban Los Angeles on Monday night after spending more than two months in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Jonah was the smallest of the octuplets at birth, weighing just 1 pound, 8 ounces. The hospital says he is now 4 pounds, 10 ounces, is able to bottle-feed and has demonstrated that he can gain weight and maintain his body temperature.
The octuplets’ birth was heralded as a medical miracle, but the public’s fascination with Suleman quickly soured as details of her life emerged. The divorced and unemployed mother had six other children at home; she has said all 14 children were conceived through in vitro fertilization.
