Most Donated Breast Milk - Meet the Guinness World Record Holder

Yeah, she's definitely got milk. Alicia Richman of Granbury, TX, has been declared the new Guinness World Record holder for "Most Breastmilk Donated," CBS DFW reports. Between June 2011 and March 2012, The 28-year-old mother of one donated 11,115 ounces -- or 694 pounds -- of breastmilk to charity, according to Guinness. By volume, that's about 87 gallons. Richman told CBS that after she gave birth in March 2011, she began pumping and storing her milk, and quickly realized she was producing much more than her son could consume. When two freezers were chock full of pumped milk, Richman contacted the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas, a nonprofit that collects breast milk donations for critically ill and premature infants in need. Her donations have fed, "hundreds, and more likely, thousands of premature babies across the United States," Amy Vickers, executive director of the milk bank, says in a press release. Richman says she went for the Guinness record because she wanted to raise awareness for the cause and encourage other women to donate to milk banks. "I'm so thankful that I'm able to help not only my own baby, Drake, but all of the little babies who need it and are sick," Richman told News 8. "It really feels amazing and I'm so thankful that I'm able to do it."  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Most Donated Breast Milk - Meet the Guinness World Record Holder
Everyone's body is different. Some babies will not nurse from their mother. My niece has to pump milk and feed her daughter from a bottle. For whatever reason, this mother had extra and make a wonderful choice. Something I never knew you could do. She appears to be a petite woman, but, for whatever reason, her body gave more. |

If all the milk a woman's body produces is used, her body will respond by producing more and at greater rates in an effort to keep up with demand.

Re: Most Donated Breast Milk - Meet the Guinness World Record Holder
How does that explain women who can't produce enough for their child?
