Looks like Octo Mom Nadya Suleman and Angelina Jolie have another thing in common: the same designer is outfitting their kids!

Baby brand Custom Kingdom has reached out to Suleman -- who has no job and supports her family on food stamps -- to donate clothing for all 14 of her 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 exclusively to Usmagazine.com.

The company -- which also sent its cute "I'm Out on Parole" onesies to Knox and Viv after their July birth -- will "provide at least $500 in clothing each month, for one year."

Meet the octuplets!

Custom Kingdom has offered to send its own favorite designs each month, or let Suleman's kids select. And if the family is still struggling with funds after a year, the company -- which sells brands like Ninja, iPoo and Security on its Web site -- has agreed to continue sending clothes.

Earlier this month, Octo Mom's original PR team set up a Web site that accepted credit cards and listed an address to send gifts.

Suleman's mom, Angela, told The Insider Thursday that she'd "opt" for adoption if her daughter couldn't pay for the kids. Angela's southern California bungalow -- where all the kids reside -- is currently in foreclosure.

Meanwhile, the octuplets -- who just turned one month old -- are continuing to improve.

"They are alert and responsive to the care our nurses are providing them. In fact, we are slowly introducing them to nipple or bottle feeding a few times a day, and they're getting better and better at coordinating sucking, swallowing and breathing," their doctor said in a statement Thursday.

"Our nurses can't help but smile as each in turn gets stronger," the statement continued.

    Why do people still want to punish the children,YES SHE SCREWED UP,but the children need people to care.They are beautiful kids who God created.If someo clothing company would like to help,let em.Too many kids are being left behind because people are living a life about them.Life is about loving others.

    Regardless of how stupid she is, the fact is, the kids need the clothes. Yes, shes an idiot, we all know that. But it isn't the kids fault they were born to this woman. Dont begrudge those kids anything, they are just babies and you cant pick your parents. I'm all for the KIDS getting anything to make their lives better and give them a good start.

    Wow I can’t believe that this is happening!!! Oh wait this is probably what she wanted since she started to pop out these poor kids. I think every single kid should be taken away. But then she would just start over in popping out new ones. My things is not against the babies they are a blessing but the mother should get lots and lots of help

    This is what that CRAZY girl wants LOTS of free things and $ from people. Why should she even be able to keep any of these kids, she is MENTAL and that is enough of a reason to take them, ALL of them .Even if she was to get a real job she still could not raise them on her own and she knew that. I wish I could just afford the free clothes she is getting designer clothes for a infants and the others

    Great mom, huh michelle b? What about having the means to support said kids. You mention your health but you don't mention actualy having the money and resources and time, because of course those things don't matter. Honestly that makes me seriously question your 'I'm a great mom' proclamation (HA!). No one says anything about having no sympathy for the kids

    And now I say this store deserves to be boycotted. They're basically rewarding her horrible behavior, which is exactly what she wants. They need to wait until those children are given to parents who will truly care for them as they deserve to be cared for and then donate. Don't validate her BS by giving her stuff.
