Suleman’s rep told the site, "Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors. Nadya wanted to deal with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be.”

Nadya Suleman's eight babies are growing up fast... the six boys and two girls are already a year old.

Nadya Suleman's son Caleb was released from the hospital

Octuplets mom Nadya Suleman's son Caleb was released from the hospital after the two-year-old ingested a chemical solution from his older brother's home volcano kit on Friday.

The mother of 14 decided to call paramedics after her son vomited.

"I knew it would all get blown out of proportion if I called, but I didn't want to take any chances," Suleman tells People magazine. "I think I did the right thing. He's okay," she confirms.

After Suleman called 911, an estimated 40 emergency medical personnel reportedly showed up at the family's La Habra, Calif., home. Caleb was taken by ambulance to St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, Calif., and returned home two and half hours later.

You'd think with 14 children, Nadya Suleman's hands would be full enough, but Octomom is considering adding a pet pig to her family!

"For a couple of years, the kids have been asking for a dog," she told the San Gabriel Valley News. "I've actually been looking into a pig, like a little one."

If she did buy the oinker, she said it would live outside -- and wear a diaper.

Despite the media backlash Nadya Suleman has received since the birth of her octuplets, baby brand Custom Kingdom -- who has outfitted the Brangelina brood -- has offered to donate a year's worth of clothing to all 14 of Nadya's children.

"We understand the financial strain one child can put on a family, let alone 14 little ones, so we would like to do our part and donate clothing from our line," the company says in a letter released to Us Weekly.

Custom Kingdom has offered to "provide at least $500 in clothing each month, for one year."

Nadya will certainly be grateful for the help -- the mother has no job and supports her children with food stamps. Also, the home that the family has been living in -- which is owned by Suleman's mother -- is in foreclosure.

In early February, the octomom set up a website through which people could send money and gifts to the struggling family.

Octomom Nadya Suleman makes headlines day after day -- now her neighbor's in on the act!

Earlier this week, paparazzi called 911 after Suleman's neighbor came out of his home and threatened to kill someone while waving a shotgun.

In the 911 tapes obtained by "Extra," the caller says there's "a gentleman touting a shotgun... He drove down the street like a crazy person, screaming and yelling because of the paparazzi." The caller continued, "He said he wanted to kill someone... He stopped the grandfather [Suleman's dad] and yelled a few things at him."

A Whittier Police Lieutenant said the outburst was not specific to anyone, but was probably a reaction to dealing with the recent influx of camera people outside of Suleman's residence.

Donald Trump has a new target. The real estate mogul is sounding off to "Extra" about today's top headlines -- including the Octomom drama!

"I think the Octomom is a total disaster," Trump declares. "She is just an absolute catastrophe. She is not a great role model for people... and I think something has to be done with the children to protect them."

The Donald also had some advice for Rihanna -- to get away from Chris Brown. "Well, from what I understand about abusers, they never change... now that's a pretty sad comment, but they never change. I would tell her to get the hell out of there."

Trumps nemesis Rosie wasn't safe from his acid-tongued rants either! Donald dismisses O'Donnell's claim that she has put down the bottle. "Frankly, I can't believe a thing she says," said Trump. "I don't understand why the television networks keep giving her a chance -- she had a huge failure with her variety show... nobody watched it... but she keeps going so I think she's got a great agent. He should be on 'The Apprentice'."

"Celebrity Apprentice" -- featuring Joan Rivers and Dennis Rodman -- airs Sunday night, and Donald has a strong opinion about his contenders! "The egos are really unbelievable...I don't think I've seen anything like it on television."

There is one celebrity that Trump thinks would be an ideal candidate though -- "Extra" host Mario Lopez! "I think Mario would do great. I watch him all the time -- he's really special. He would win."
