There was conflicting information in press releases from two different
agencies.  Here are excerpts from two dated 1/6/99:

"All the children except Gorom are receiving small amounts of their mother's
milk to supplement intravenous feeding, the hospital said in a statement."
(Reuters)

"Her four sisters and two brothers were being breast-fed by their mother, Nkem
Chukwu. Gorom continued to be fed intravenously." (Associated Press)

Obviously Reuter's statement makes more sense.  The AP's statement infers that
these babies are actually on the breast - highly unlikely at this point, given
their size!
