A woman has created a world record by donating her own milk. The woman has helped hundreds of children so far. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the woman has donated 2,645.58 liters of milk. The name of this woman is Alice Ogletree. 36-year-old Ogletree lives in Texas, America. Ogletree has also created this record in the year 2014. Then she donated 1,569.79 liters of milk. After 10 years, Ogletree has broken her own record.
The woman's donated milk has been given to the Mothers Bank in North Texas. However, the woman has donated much more than the figures so far. According to the Mothers Milk Bank of North Texas, one liter of breast milk can nourish 11 premature babies. According to estimates, the woman has helped more than 350,000 infants so far.
Donation of milk started from 2010
Alice said that I have a big heart. After all, I don't have money. I cannot donate money again and again for good deeds, because I have a family to support. So donating milk seemed right. The woman said that I started donating milk since 2010 after the birth of my first son. The son is now 14 years old.
Mothers Bank told me that one ounce of milk can nourish three premature babies. According to this statistic, I have helped more than 350,000 babies so far. However, this world record is set at just 89,000 ounces of milk. Apart from this, I have donated about 37,000 ounces to Tiny Treasures and a few hundred ounces to my friends.
Information about donating milk received from the nurse
The woman said that I did not know that one's own milk can also be donated. At the time of the birth of my first son, I was producing more milk than normal women. I used to throw away the excess milk. I did not know that producing more milk is a unique process. Many women around the world are facing this problem. Ogletree said that when we were in the hospital at the time of the birth of the first child, I used to fill my milk in the nurses' freezer. Then a nurse told me about donating milk. Since then, this practice of donating milk continued. According to the woman, donating milk is one of the best feelings in the world.
