Alicia Richman Wins World Record For 'Most Breastmilk Donated'
How much breast milk does one have to donate to set a world record? Texas woman Alicia Richman and Guinness World Records have determined the number.
According to Dallas-Fort Worth’s FOX affiliate Richman amassed 11,115 ounces — approximately 86 gallons — of breast milk over a nine month period.
Richman would feed her young son, Drake, and then set aside a little extra for donation each time.
All of her donations went to the Mother’s Milk Bank of North Texas, a resource for neonatal care and mothers who can’t provide their own breast milk. The Mother’s Milk Bank of North Texas claims that one ounce of donations can provide three feedings for a premie baby.
“I joked I was a dairy cow. That’s how I felt,” she told FOX Dallas-Forth Worth.
The previous world record for breast milk donation topped at around 7,000 ounces.
I have to imagine that around ounce 6,000, the Mother’s Milk Bank was probably like, “Alright, Alicia. Thanks. We’ve got more than enough. We’re pretty much just using your breast milk for coffee. It does not go well with Honey Nut Cheerios. You can stop.”
