So you’ve now got a set of octuplets…what’s next? Most parents wouldn’t be able to provide much advice with such a unique case of newborns, but Kate Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8 (with her own 8 children) was eager to provide helpful words for the new parents in California through ParentDish.com.

What should the new mother expect?

Gosselin goes on to caution that…she should “look forward to feelings of overwhelming proportions — good, bad and ugly…People will pop up with advice when they have no idea [of] the situation.”

You can read the rest of Kate’s sage advice here. As for me? I just say you ought to buy a boatload of diapers.
