The Rosenkowitz Sextuplets (born 11 January 1974 in South Africa) were the first known set of sextuplets to survive infancy.
Born to Susan Wilson at Mowbray Maternity Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa,[1][2] the sextuplets are:
Baby Order | Time of Birth | Sex | Birth Weight | Name |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | Boy | 4 lb 5 oz (2.0 kg) | David Peter | |
B | Boy | 4 lb 1 oz (1.8 kg) | Grant Vincent | |
C | Boy | 4 lb 5 oz (2.0 kg) | Jason Solomon | |
D | Girl | 4 lb 1 oz (1.8 kg) | Emma Louise | |
E | Girl | 2 lb 9 oz (1.2 kg) | Nicolette Anne | |
F | Girl | 4 lb 3 oz (1.9 kg) | Elizabeth Rebecca |
The births quickly drew international attention as the first known set of sextuplets to survive infancy.[1][3] Born about four weeks early,[3] their total birthweight was 24 lb 4 oz (11.0 kg), with the individual birthweights ranging from 2 lb 12oz (Nicolette) to 4 lb 9oz (Jason)
Mother Susan Wilson is a native Briton who emigrated to South Africa in 1967. The record shows that the father Colin divorced Susan in 1989.[4]
