Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center discharged another of the Suleman Octuplets from the hospital earlier today.

The discharged baby is:

Josiah Angel (Baby G) - 4 lb. 8 oz

The infant is bottle feeding, gaining weight and able to maintain his body temperature.

"Every day that passes is a milestone in the lives and care of the octuplets," said Mandhir Gupta, MD., Neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. "Being able to send another baby home is a significant step in their development."

The remaining baby continues to progress well and remains at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. He continues gaining weight and remains on formula and donated pasteurized breast milk.

The discharge was private at the request of the mother.
