Denton woman makes record breaking donation of breast milk
When Alyse Ogletree of Denton first started donating breast milk she just wanted to do something good. She never expected it would lead her to likely become a world record holder.
"At that time I had no idea there was even a record out there,” said the mother of two.
However now she’s just a few steps away from that title.
Ogletree has donated 53,081 ounces of breast milk and is applying to the Guinness Book of World Records to officially be named the record holder.
The current holder, Amelia Boomker of Illinois, made the record book by donating 16,321 ounces to an Indiana donation center.
The Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas, who Ogletree donates to, said she should easily triple that number with her donations to them; a total of more than 414 gallons of breast milk.
"I was over-producing,” Ogletree explained.
I decided to do some cipherin on how many gallons that is.So I tried to use the Common Core methodology for pulling a "friendly" number outta my ass.It's like eleventy million gallons that's a shitload.I believe that is the correct nomenclature.
