Our quads are 4 times the work... along with the fun: Parents of 70million-to-one babies reveal a life of Aldi nappies and milk powder in large quantities a year after their birth

It took four rounds of IVF, hundreds of thousands of pounds and many years of anguish to create them in the world.

And then this really hard work began.

A year after these quadruplets were born at likelihood of 70million-to-one, their exhausted mother has revealed precisely what goes into looking after four babies - including 18 hours of feeding, five plenty of washing and countless nappy changes every single day.

Sharon Turner, 38, told the Mail that learning to be a mother of four in one fell swoop would be a 'wonderful, uplifting experience', but conceded: 'It been specifically more exhausting than I could possibly have imagined.'

Mrs Turner spends up to 18 hours each day feeding her two identical boys, James and Joshua, and a couple identical girls, Emily and Lauren - one of only four teams of double boy-girl twins on the planet.

She and husband Julian, 44, also placed on at least five full plenty of washing a day to keep together with the dirty bedding and clothes, and estimate they're going to have to complete 30,000 nappy changes prior to babies are adult.

The quads came into the world 11 weeks prematurely in March recently, weighing just 2lb each. But once they got home, they grew from strength to strength.

Mrs Turner said: 'For the first few months, we hardly got any sleep at all. They require constant attention, and feeding them is a big task.

'It takes two to three hours to feed all four babies, and they also need to be fed every four hours. So once I have finished, I know I have an hour's break before it all starts again.'

At first, the household bought 80 washable nappies so that they can be environmentally friendly - however, if the constant washing became an excessive amount of, we were holding forced to bulk-buy disposable ones from Aldi instead.

Then your family car needed to be replaced with a nine-seater VW transporter large enough to fit their brood and all sorts of the necessary supplies, including two double buggies.

And because the children mature, the grocery list is expanding in an alarming rate.

Mrs Turner said: 'They have just started eating solids and get through 14 bananas and 24 yoghurts every week. But when you consider what they will eat when they get older it is frightening.'

Mr Turner says he feels guilty for time for his career being a sales director while his wife has got to do the 'real job' of taking good care of the children.

But Mrs Turner's parents Sandra, 66, and Steve, 63, have moved inside their home near Hungerford, Berkshire, to help.

And despite the exhaustion, the couple insist they haven't yet ruled out having more children. Mr Turner said: 'Never say never. They have been an enormous blessing inside our lives.'

The Turners' newbie of parenthood will aldi aanbiedingen probably be shown on Quads: Our First Year at 8pm tonight on ITV.
