Mother was discharged from the hospital last week. She is “very involved” in providing care for children, said the official representative of the institution Shira Pollard.
The smallest of newborns weighed at birth, about 500 grams, and the largest is just over 1 kilogram.
“I hope that the smallest of my children will tell me when you grow up: I was such a little thing, and look how I turned out now,” said the woman. Directly with the press, neither she nor her husband nor the doctors do not communicate.
The birth of six children at once is rare. In the hospital where they were born, this is the first case. According to medical authorities of the United States in 2015 were born in the country of 4 million kids, and only 24 cases of babies had four or more.
