Jeez world busiest parents welcome their 19th baby and are hoping to have an “even 20"

Sue, a 41 year-old mother of 18 who recently gave birth to her 19th child Phoebe, has said she is hoping to have another child to make the number even. Sue is married to husband Noel Radford.

The beaming mum told The Sun it may not be her last baby, adding: “Phoebe is so beautiful and I am happy to have her here safely for now – but never say never.”

Sue was just 14 when she first found out that she was pregnant over two-and-a-half-decades ago – but they were determined to keep baby Chris as both were given up for adoption from birth.

They got hitched four years later and she was soon expecting their second child Sophie.



Just over a year afterwards they found out that they were expecting Chloe – and babies have been in quick succession even since.

Sue’s typical day kicks off at 6.30am and she doesn’t get to bed until 11pm.

Noel sets off to work at the bakery at 5am to work 11 hour days with the older kids helping out when possible.

The household is ran with military precision – with three big boxes of cereal and three litres of juice consumed before 8am as the kids help each other get ready for school.

At 8.15am Noel nips home to help with the school run and the younger children are piled in the family people carrier.

Sue then returns to the house where she juggles taking care of her babies and toddlers that are too young for school, with around nine wash loads each day.

She goes shopping every day to pick up food and to ensure the fridge is stocked with the 18 pints of milk that the family guzzle every 24 hours.

The family spend £300 per week on food and drink and pride themselves on having no credit cards or items on finance.

They keep the household running on an income from the family bakery and recently launched pie business.

They live in a large Victorian home which was a former residence for adults with learning disabilities, which they bought 11 years ago for £240,000.
