Woman hit the Guinness Book of Records for donated breast milk (5 photos)
A resident of the United States donated a huge amount of breastfeeding milk to help other mothers whose bodies cannot produce enough milk to feed your children.
Elizabeth Anderson-Sierra, since February 2015, donated 1599.68 liters of her own breast milk. For such an incredible achievement, a resident of Aloha (Oregon, USA) got into the Book Guinness records. However, the additional improbability of the record is that only milk was taken into account, which the lady donated to the “bank milk." And given that Elizabeth is involved in charity work, bypassing the "bank" and sending milk to needy families, then 1599.68 liters - this is not the full extent.
The secret of a mother of three who can produce so much milk, consists in hyperlactation syndrome. In Elizabeth's body there is an excess of the hormone prolactin, and therefore her milk is far more than necessary.
Despite the inconvenience associated with the constant the need to express breast milk, a woman lives an active life and takes a great deal of pride in helping many people feed their little ones. kids.
However, Elizabeth still thinks about medical an intervention that would decrease prolactin production and leave the syndrome hyperlactation in the past. But for now, these are only plans for the future, because now a woman likes to be a "nursing super-mom" for so many in need.
