Summary

Alyse Ogletree from Texas set a Guinness World Record by donating 2,645.58 liters of breastmilk, enough to help nourish approximately 350,000 premature babies.

Ogletree, who initially realized her high milk production after her first son’s birth, has donated surplus breastmilk after each of her children and as a surrogate.

This is her second Guinness record; she previously set the mark in 2014.

Ogletree hopes her achievement will encourage others to consider donating breastmilk to help mothers and vulnerable infants in need.
