I find it amazing that she is using her condition to benefit newborn babies and making the most of it for the best of others. Bless her heart and all the help she has provided.
WORLD RECORD LONGEST COUNTEROFFENSIVE IN MILITARY HISTORY: That Title belongs to the current counteroffensive undertaken by Ukraine. They Deserve this price, But I can’t tell you when the record will End..;)
I wish I had known about donor milk when mine were born. It took so long for mine to come in that they had to give them formula and once they had that they wouldn’t take the breast milk. 😢
I had that problem after my first child I told the nurses I’m having a problem with nursing baby They said don’t worry if you think it’s not enough I showed her 9 60 ml bottle pumped in I sitting They were shocked It got donated Now to watch video Is nothing to compare
Yes, she's an angel and doing this and putting up with all this for so long so those that need it can be helped is truly generous and worthy of some accommodations. It's her gift and hope she goes on as long as she is able as there truly is a need for this. I understand that this would wear on you mentally and physically, but apparently nobody can do this in this large quantity, she's definitely unique and special in so many ways. I wonder if she has to be on a special diet so all the nutrients for both the milk and her body are not depleted? How many freezers has she had to buy? I hope she's been reimbursed somehow by hospitals or? Truly gifted.
As a mama who struggles with supply, I applaud this woman. So many of us struggle to keep our babies fed. You're a miraculous individual. I hated pumping and the mental and emotional toll is exhausting.
She turned her painful condition as a blessing to many many babies by becoming a mother to many. All are her children and owe it to her all their life . Spiritually speaking , she is a mother to all those babies. My late Dad lost his mom when he was 3 days old and another lady did breast feed in those days in small remote villages. So my grand father gave her farm land , money and all out of respect. She used to come and visit my father from that village once in a while as we lived in a district which is like 4 hours or more journey for her once in a while and my dad used to give her some money to her and her daughter also who used to visit calling my dad a brother. Long time memory story.
despite her condition being extremely difficult and painful, I really admire her positivity and the grace she’s navigating this with. i’m in awe at how strong she is! you’re helping so many newborns and mothers, and i admire you so much
I find it hilarious that people get weirded out about a woman giving milk to another woman's baby, but find it totally normal to give a baby, or child, cow's milk.
I think programs like those she donates to is truly amazing. My issue comes in when people go on FB and privately receive milk from random people they don’t know. Donated milk gets tested. Private donations do not. Who knows if that person was doing drugs, drinking etc.
@@PrismaticPixie You assume that donated milk is 'properly' tested (more likely, but no guarantees). I think if you're a mom donating breastmilk to families that need it, the likelyhood of the kind of fraud you're assuming is low. I'm sure it happens, but it'd be like saying we shouldn't ever go out because there are people driving under the influence, or people actively looking to crash/scam you.
@@mm345-0sure, but the point they were making still stands. Purchasing milk from strangers on the Internet is a huge risk to take for your baby. Milk from a milk bank is extremely heavily regulated and held to very high standards. It'd be like getting a bloodborne illness from donated blood. Sure, it can happen, but the chances are extremely low because people know the risks and take every possible precaution. Strangers on the Internet, as far as anybody knows, aren't taking any precautions whatsoever.
As someone who overproduced for only about 6 months, I definitely feel for this woman. It's more than inconvenient. It can be painful and can lead to health issues. I think it is amazing that she has taken her situation and made it into something beautiful.
@not_ringo it can be. When you over produce, you can become engorged quickly. Engorgment isn't comfortable. You end up so full of milk your breasts become hard, and you have to pump or nurse to relieve the pressure. And you can always end up with clogged milk ducts or even mastitis. It can also affect nursing. If you're too engorged, it is hard for the baby to latch, but that isn't the only problem. Your baby needs a balance of fore milk and hind milk. Fore milk has a higher water and sugar content, while hind milk has more fat and protein. When you over produce and try to nurse your baby gets to much fore milk and not enough hind milk. To counteract this I only nursed on one side while i pumped on the other for relief. If I was really engorged I would pump off some before I'd nurse. I didn't produce nearly as much as the woman in the video. I imagine she couldn't nurse at all and likely had to pump and then give her baby a bottle of her breastmilk.
@Voyager5171 I never sold mine, though I did give some away. It was a lot of work to get my supply regulated but now I only produce what my little one needs. I know overproduction sounds like a blessing, and in some ways, it is, but it also creates some issues no one thinks about. In the video, she mentions foremilk and hindmilk. Foremilk has more water and sugar in it, and hindmilk has more protein and fats. Both are very important. When you over produce, your baby will get more foremilk and less hindmilk if you nurse. There are things that can be done (like pumping a little before nursing so the baby gets both), but considering how much this woman produced, I imagine she couldn't actually breastfeed her own baby. She likely had to give her baby her pumped milk in a bottle instead. There is nothing wrong with that, but I personally would have been heartbroken if I had lost out on that experience with my little one.
I understand that its technically a disability and so difficult to live with, but this woman has saved possibly hundreds ot thousands of young human lives. I'd say she has been gifted. Thank goodness for her.
I feel really bad for this woman, she seems really sad about her condition. But she should definitely hold her head to the highest being such an absolute super mom and using her curse as a blessing to feed those babies. This woman needs a statue built in her honor. A real woman being a real hero. We’ve glorified and immortalized people for less.
What she’s doing is amazing. I personally fed my son donor breastmilk when he was a newborn bc my milk was not enough for him (he was a 10lb baby and was eating 3oz by 4 weeks) & he had oral restrictions that made nursing him painful. A few moms were generous with their donations and thanks to them my baby was able to gain the weight he needed to gain & he’s a healthy 4.5 month old now :) & happy when breastfeeding
I've always donated whatever baby stuff I got free since I do surveys and some of them had me sign up for things had three different formulas come in one box gave to mom to give to family friend who was expecting and told Mom to tell her do whatever she wanted to do with the ones she didn't use one was for normal and I forget the other two she was grateful for it
Yes. By 2.5 months he was eating 8-9oz. Luckily we had a 3 people donated 2,000oz all together which helped my son not he labeled failure to thrive since we didn’t want to do formula. But eventually at 3 months we caved in and did Kendamil. At his 4 months appointment he weighed in at 21lbs and 29 inches. He’s bigger than most babies in our church friend group. My friend’s one year old is only 20lbs.
In Islam, the relationship established through breastfeeding is called **"Rada’a"** (milk kinship), and it holds significant importance. If a woman breastfeeds a child, that child becomes her milk son or daughter, and likewise, the woman's biological children become the milk siblings of the child. Islamic jurisprudence clearly states that relationships are established through breastfeeding, and the same rules apply to these relationships as they do for blood relations, such as prohibitions on marriage. If a woman stores her breast milk in the fridge and then feeds it to other children, those children will become her milk children, and they will be considered milk siblings to each other. As a result, those children would not be permitted to marry each other, because milk kinship also makes marriage forbidden. Therefore, if a woman stores her breast milk and gives it to other children, those children will develop milk kinship relationships, which align with Islamic teachings.
@@codewithincredible huh TIL. Now I’m thinking about the soap opera shenanigans possible with that. Like a mother doesn’t like her son’s intended bride so she secretly feeds her the frozen breast milk to sabotage the marriage by adopting her in secret
Breastmilk is crucial for micropreemies. She is a hero for babies that need donated breastmilk. I realize this is a burden for her, but i hope she is comforted knowing what a important thing she is doing for babies.
Makes me wonder what the milk products cost the patient's family vs how much she is getting compensated (probably nothing if it's anything like blood products.)
Yeah she can definitely sell it, I think it’s cool that she decided to donate instead. Many families are in great need that don’t have the money to provide for their babies. 😊
So much respect and admiration for her sacrifice making a lot of milk hurts if you don't let it out even though it sprays out of you. There's nothing like pumping or breastfeeding to alleviate that pain and pressure. She deserves so much recognition. She's amazing. I pray her surgery goes well and she gets to enjoy a new chapter of freedom and joy after such a long time of helping others.
This woman is incredible!! I exclusively pumped for both of my babies and it was hell! It would be so easy for her to just pump and dump, without going through the hassle of cleaning, sterilizing, storing, etc… but she has chosen to do all of that to feed babies who need it. She is a HERO! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
YES! Sterilizing it to make sure it's safe, mixing it so that all the babies get equal nutrients, packing it into individual bags, and storing it in an entire fridge dedicated to the milk! Unbelievable
She is amazing. I’ve recently gave birth to a beautiful premature daughter via c section. I’m grateful to produce my own milk but if I hadn’t would be grateful to the moms who donate. She is doing amazing and getting stronger and bigger each day 💖
This truly moved me ❤ I hope she gets donations for every supply she needs. The amount of time and emotion that goes into this plus raising a family.. it just blows my mind! What an incredible woman! ❤

She earned a place in heaven! As a woman who could not breastfeed due to a health condition, could not have donor milk because in my country there is none available. I love seeing her act of kindness
I was just thinking the same thing. for her to go through what she does on a daily basis and she continues to do it because she knows she's helping so many babies survive when they otherwise may not . she's a saint in my eyes.
When my baby was born early by emergency c section and rushed to a NICU at only 4 and a half pounds, she needed a small procedure, oxygen, and a feeding tube as well as all kinds of other monitors. For the first week of her life she was receiving donated breast milk until mine came in enough to feed her myself. That donated milk helped us know we had one less thing to worry about on top of all the other stress. THANK YOU. To all the women who donate their milk to others. You genuinely do help so many families with what you do 💖💖
As someone who couldn't breast-feed because my body could not keep up with my babies needs and was forced to rely on formula, I think the effort and care you take to provide preemies with nutrition is amazing gift of love.
😭 I am balling my eyes out at the generosity and love inside this woman. I was unable to breastfeed both of my babies, and that was one of the most difficult emotional/mental battles I have ever fought. I wish I had known then what I know now, I wish I had asked for a milk donor. What a blessing it is just to produce a normal amount for your own baby, many families take it for granted. It's not always a natural process and some of us mommas have what I call "milk duds". Love this story, and I pray the best for her and her family!
Heart of gold. I wasn’t able to make milk for my preemie baby. No matter what I tried,.. nothing. My baby received donated milk from wonderful moms like you. Thank you!
@@llcrs9640 lol...this is the only way you could've diverted my comment.... you can't justify your acts because I literally spoke the truth.. .. your habits, routine, diet,acts literally affected your baby who was your responsibility....
Human beings who CHOOSE to turn their own circumstances of suffering into literal life-saving energy for other human beings deserve the entire world, I wish I could give this woman the world ❤️❤️❤️
I think she is an absolute hero for helping feed so many babies. She is an amazing woman. I feel sad for her though because I can't image the pain, and the constant need to pump must feel exhausting.
Serious respect to this woman. I did exclusive pumping for 3 months and it is not easy. The thought of living like that indefinitely sounds impossible, she is very strong.
Why do these people keep saying "this milk needs to be tested" like clearly if she's donated this much for this long OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS ALREADY TESTED AND ITS FINE
@@VVinterl3ear exactly! All donated milk is tested, and subsequently pasteurized, then placed into individual little bottles, with labels that can be scanned… and when fed to the neonates it’s heated in a milk warmer (Medela brand is typical) so all precautions are taken. No one would ever give untested, unpasteurized donor milk to a baby, especially a micropreemie!
As someone who couldn't pump an ounce, I am so grateful to all women who donate milk. My NICU baby thanks y'all too. Not to belittle her struggle at all, it must be horrible
This kind of women have existed since always. My grandmother used to tell stories about one women in a village, she was a star because she was helping other women when no powder milk was available. This woman is just a gift for humanity ❤️
My mom told me a story once about my Grammie. She was breastfeeding one of my aunts or uncles, and a woman in the neighborhood got really sick and needed to go to the hospital. She had a baby who was breastfeeding at the time and who couldn't or wouldn't take formula. The husband was losing his mind because he had other children and the baby was screaming and his wife was really ill, and my Grammie got word and told him to bring the baby over and she would feed them until the mom recovered. She would tandem feed the neighbors baby and her own. And, of course, wet-nurses also used to be a thing.
This woman made her disabling challenge into her superpower. It’s so amazing. How wonderful to have someone like her in this world to help some of the most vulnerable survive.
Coming from someone who was an under producer and my son couldn’t stomach formula correctly.. thank you 💙 my supply never fully came in and my baby was starving. We were able to feed my baby with a local mom’s breastmilk. You and so many others have helped our babies. Thank you 💙 a million times over for helping these babies 💙
I’ve gotten half way through the video, which means I might be missing the point where she can choose to just dry up. Which is doable but I might be putting my foot into my mouth listening further to understand her condition, she also needs to understand that this can absolutely harm her adrenal glands the constant stimulation, who knows what long term effects she will have on her body. 7:06 ok so she’s talking about stopping it eventually. If she just stops stimulating them I believe her body will just stop producing, right now she has a baby which is stimulating her very well. 🤍🫶🏽🤍 Praying for her relief 🫶🏽🫶🏽
That’s exactly what I’m thinking . So if she just stops pumping … what would happen ? It would probably be very swollen and leaking but I wonder what would happen after three weeks .
@@aliciahicks8020 exactly, her body is only making more milk cuz she's pumping. You do risk clogged glands when you choose to dry up, but that seems like a small concern in comparison...
She needs a standing ovation. Living with this disability I do not wish on anyone but it's amazing how she is making a difference for others. I only have but ❤
I have not stopped producing milk since I had my daughter in 2008. I also have a pituitary tumor that causes prolactin production which causes milk production. Unfortunately I don't produce enough milk to collect and/or store the milk. I breastfed all 4 of my kids and I wish I could do such an amazing thing as this woman. It would be wonderful to be able to help babies.
What a beautiful lady. I am in awe. What an amazing thing she is doing, and her lovely husband for supporting her. The mental strength it would take her and all the time and effort she must put into ensuring it is all kept up to standard is just incredible.💕
This is so awesome. Thank you so much for doing this! I didn't know this was a thing. The milk donation and the condition of hyperlactation. As babys my twin and I were dependent on milk donations. And luckily we had someone donating milk for us. So so so thankful that you are doing this!❤
When my baby was 3 months old, I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Treatment option has rendered a drastic reduction in my breastmilk. I really want the benefit of human breastmilk for my baby, so I broadcasted my appeal in our local breastfeeding group. The love response was overwhelming that my baby get to enjoy donated breastmilk up to 10months of age. We are just so grateful for milk sharing
I have so much respect for her turning her disability into such a very special gift to so many little babies in need. I think that there are very few people out there that would be able and willing to do what she is doing day in, day out for so many years! May your future and those of all the babies and family's you helped be bright!
As a soon to be new mom this brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful thing this woman was able to do. And I completely understand her needing and wanting to get back to a more normalized lifestyle when the time is right for her. Thank you for the wonderful story ❤
Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy! Just remember, whether you produce more than enough, (like this woman) or struggle to keep your baby growing (like me), you are enough for your baby!
Bless this woman. I can't imagine having to go through this. At least she's making the best of her situation, and helping the helpless. More people need to know her story. She's undoubtedly saved many children
I would like to thank this woman. My daughter was a premature baby, she had to be cut out because she was upside-down. Then she started seizures, and she could not drink milk. People like this woman have saved many lives. Thank you for giving me a chance to be a father.
This woman’s curse is a blessing in disguise. I’m extremely glad she’s donated so much milk and helped countless babies over the years. When and if I ever have a baby, I’d love to donate my milk to help babies around my area. I now see her as a new role model for this need. Thank you for all your hard work! ❤❤❤
I would not call this a blessing in disguise though since it interrupts amber quality of life. I hope that she can get rid of the issue one day so she can have true independence again
@@martinwinther6013 made a mistake and deleted it She works for a breast pump company and as lactation counselor so what's why I thought she was making money of off her milk...
Shes been given a curse but turned it into a gift for so many other babies, mums, and dads. What a blessing her condition is for others. Gos bless her and the little ones she helps to thrive.
I am sorry that you have to live with this condition but I cannot thank you enough for what you do by donating it! My son was preemie and in the NICU for two months and while I tried pumping every two hours, I produced just a tiny amount. He was given breastmilk that was donated and he is so big and strong now. Thank you!!❤
She is great mother. I hope she told her children about this so her children can learn to give back to society just like their mother. I hope she doesn't stop doing this. Donating breast milk is an amazing thing to do for mothers in need who can't produce enough breast milk or non at all. Keep it up girl you are an amazing person and mother. She actually made me cry tears of joy knowing a mother is donating breast milk to mothers in need. She deserves an award for the amount of donations she's done. She should be paid for the hard work she's putting in. Pumping is hard work my own mother did it for me and it was not fun for her. She has helped so many mothers and babies and saved babies. Can someone please give this Woman an award?
Proud of you dear❤ ton of thanks from a mother who had no breast milk for my babies 😢I wish this should be highly appreciated by our community worldwide and support the poor moms with the real breast milk
Jeebus, this is FULL time job. I fully understand how it is viewed as a disability. I can't believe how much milk this brave and amazing woman produces. She must be incredibly strong mentally. My heart and prayers go to her and her family. Although she's doing a great service, I hope something can someday be done to free her from this. Amazing story❤.
That's *Awesome* that she turned her "disability" into an amazing donation/ gift to children (I mean; she could have let it bring her down and treat it like "waste," but instead she "embraced it.").
She's definitely an angel. Not sure if she's been tested for a pituitary tumor, which can cause excess prolactin. There's medications to lower prolactin. There's also surgical removal of the tumor. I hope she sees this and gets help.
@@ashleyspianoprogress1341 and if you watch it carefully she doesn't talk about tumor at all, she's only talking about the medication and surgery to remove her breasts (double mastectomy). OP's point still stands, she may not know if she has pituitary tumor (a type of brain tumor) or not, this may be the root cause of the hyperprolactinemia in the first place
Besides which not everything is caused by tumours, as she had pointed out at the start, what she has is very very rare and any Dr worth his weight in salt would have checked for tumours. By referring to tumours you cast such a negative view on what she has spent the last 15 years of her life doing for all the right reasons. She would have been given those options at the very beginning but what she saw was not something to be down or negative about but as something that could be used to help so many other people out there. I am just glad she had more positive people around her to help her and she in turn has worked with companies that have designed the very pumps that many working Moms of today are actually using to express the milk for their own children so that they are being fed using he own breast milk. She has looked at the medication which has far too many side affects that can and could cause her medical issues if taken. She has looked at the double mastectomy and at this time in her life she’s not interested, especially if she has not fully committed to not having more children in the near future. For now she feels that this is something that needs to be seen so that others who can help with Brest milk are made aware of their options. For so many decades wet-nurses have been looked down at because pre-WWII they were used by the very rich, and the very poor found it as a way to feed their families. A woman can Brest feed a child from birth up-to the age of 3 years of age. Because of this they became in high demand by the rich as long as they were healthy. Wet nurses are still needed today, there are so many women who are not able to produce enough of their own breast milk for their child, plus the many premi-babies that are born today is higher now than it was 30-40 years ago plus more if these babies are now living, but because if the distress of having their babies delivered early can cause the mothers milk to never come in at all.
Her struggle has become a blessing to others. She may not always see it this way, but her very existence is a gift to so many people. What an amazing woman.
I hope the parents who receive her milk return the favor as much as possible. They could help package milk, deliver it, babysit her kids, go shopping for her, and a million other small things to make her life easier. She is wonderful for continuing to feed so many babies even though it makes her life much harder. :)
A lot of the parents receiving the milk at the time are in hospital with their babies, but yes certainly after their babies have recovered 😊 My bubba was born 10 weeks premature and was really sick in hospital for 6 weeks. I actually had a surplus of milk at the time because he couldn’t feed, which isn’t usual for a mum with a very early preterm baby, so I offered to donate a portion of my milk to the hospital for other mums but couldn’t because of the medication that I’m on 😢 Regardless, I’m sure those parents are incredibly grateful for this lady helping their babies to survive ❤
They usually can't... All the families I donated to were in crisis mode. Sometimes it's financially, others are straggling medically, or even just too exhausted after working 3 jobs 4wks postpartum..... I never ask anything from these families. Just knowing I can lift some of that burden by helping nurture their little one is enough. A less stressed mom is a better one! It's an amazing process! Some mom's choose to sell their breastmilk, as many companies buy it to research it's properties (usually formula companies), but it has far more value to a family who is struggling, even if nothing is exchanged financially.
@@charlescharliechazz I agree, donating is about giving, not receiving. However, she is paying a very high price to be able to do this, and needs all the support she needs. Them helping her so she is not so exhausted will allow her to continue and help more babies. I don't think they should give back as an obligation. Rather, I would encourage them to give back along with her.
@wildflower1397 If the family is already struggling to feed their baby and is dealing with Preemie/NICU babies, they likely don't have the extra time to help her by babysitting and packaging the milk. They should not feel guilty for accepting such a generous gift.
@@razmiddle9410 I would imagine that for not rich people, if they had a friend who had given birth around the same time maybe that friend would help them and breastfeed their baby until it was strong enough to be weened and have other milk
I know women who breastfed each other's babies while the other was at work. I think these kinds of agreements come about more easily in places where most women have lots of babies.
This woman should be on a pedestal and should sooo much more support for what she is doing, and to keep her donating as long as possible. What am amazing role and yes I would be looking at a mastectomy as well if I was her. Wow!!
What an amazing husband and kids too! I can’t imagine the time she spends away from them, dealing with the side effects of her condition. What a beautiful family ❤
Absolutely the most beautiful thing she could do with her milk. I really have so much respect for her devotion to the cause of helping babies who need the breast milk. So sorry that her choices are so stark to in order to be able to end her milk production. She has a beautiful family and a very supportive husband. She’s a modern day heroine to so many.
I had a huge oversupply. I fed my son, stocked our freezer with extra milk for my son, and donated 15Litres to the local milk bank. My niece was a 28 week baby and my sister had a supply issue with her milk due to the stress. I like to think i got to help another baby like her. I feel for this woman, it’s hard to be tied to a pump. You can get mastitis and blocked ducts which can be so painful. I had mastitis which developed into an abscess that needed to be drained by needle under ultrasound twice and I was referred to a breast surgeon before it finally settles and responded to the antibiotics. You HAVE to stay on top of pumping/feeding. This is such a wonderful thing for her to do for families.
There really is something so special about being able to help another mama feed her baby. I've done it once before, and feel strongly about doing it again after this baby is born. I'm also very glad that the medical community is admitting that tiny babies aren't designed to accept man-made products, and that breast milk really is so important.
I just truly admire you Ms. Elizabeth. You have overcome your difficulty and have grown stronger by each passing day, which has made you become the most beautiful human being. ❤ Lots of love and respect to you.
There’s a lot I didn’t know about breast milk that I learned thanks to this video. She’s such a wonderful hero helping so many parents be able to raise their babies healthy. This is beautiful ❤
I know she is struggling in her own way because of all the milk and being tied to a schedule. But this is the answer I've been searching for and she gave me so many more than I wanted. She is awesome. Thank you
Oh, I didn't specify it. I was thinking about if such conditions exists. Also if there is any organisation that takes donated milk etc. Just those questions I got at the back of my head while breastfeeding
Wow, she pumps more in one session than I could in an entire day. Deep respect for you. Pumping is hard and to do this for years and years, wow, you are a hero
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time thank you for the share. Our society does not recognize the benefits and the sacrifices it takes to nurse. Thank you
As someone who pumped for 10 months for daughter, I feel for her. Yes it’s wonderful she can help babies, but the pain, the leaking, the cleaning of the pump parts, and all the milk bags! It’s a labor of love
My mom did this when I was born. Mind you that was in 1974. She made a lot of happy babies. She kept up with the parents until we moved. I always thought she was awesome for doing this. I love that these babies she is helping will thrive.
I remember when I had to pump out my milk every 2-3 hours just to get 25-40 oz a day and I really was tired. Also, I needed to take caltabs everyday just to maintain bone strenght. So what she's been doing is so dedicating, salute to her.
@@supermiimi 25oz a day is enough for one child and I have 2 babies at the same time, so one of them had to drink some formula milk as well. Her milk supplies are much more than enough for 2 babies, she must be more tired too.

@@irdestroyer bruh
Yes, she's an angel and doing this and putting up with all this for so long so those that need it can be helped is truly generous and worthy of some accommodations. It's her gift and hope she goes on as long as she is able as there truly is a need for this. I understand that this would wear on you mentally and physically, but apparently nobody can do this in this large quantity, she's definitely unique and special in so many ways. I wonder if she has to be on a special diet so all the nutrients for both the milk and her body are not depleted? How many freezers has she had to buy? I hope she's been reimbursed somehow by hospitals or? Truly gifted.

@Miss-vc5pz How many boosters have you had luv ?
As a mama who struggles with supply, I applaud this woman. So many of us struggle to keep our babies fed. You're a miraculous individual. I hated pumping and the mental and emotional toll is exhausting.
Made me emotional. Because I struggled too. I had to supplement with formula. I was only able to make breast milk till my daughter was 9 months.
Yes! As a mama who struggled to feed my babies, I love that this woman uses her struggle to bless others.
She turned her painful condition as a blessing to many many babies by becoming a mother to many. All are her children and owe it to her all their life . Spiritually speaking , she is a mother to all those babies. My late Dad lost his mom when he was 3 days old and another lady did breast feed in those days in small remote villages. So my grand father gave her farm land , money and all out of respect. She used to come and visit my father from that village once in a while as we lived in a district which is like 4 hours or more journey for her once in a while and my dad used to give her some money to her and her daughter also who used to visit calling my dad a brother. Long time memory story.
@@MewluMoonyes. But for some it is almost impossible to increase, and for some almost impossible to decrease.
she probably struggles to because of over supply
despite her condition being extremely difficult and painful, I really admire her positivity and the grace she’s navigating this with. i’m in awe at how strong she is! you’re helping so many newborns and mothers, and i admire you so much
how can i drink her milk
I find it hilarious that people get weirded out about a woman giving milk to another woman's baby, but find it totally normal to give a baby, or child, cow's milk.
I think programs like those she donates to is truly amazing. My issue comes in when people go on FB and privately receive milk from random people they don’t know. Donated milk gets tested. Private donations do not. Who knows if that person was doing drugs, drinking etc.
@@PrismaticPixie You assume that donated milk is 'properly' tested (more likely, but no guarantees). I think if you're a mom donating breastmilk to families that need it, the likelyhood of the kind of fraud you're assuming is low. I'm sure it happens, but it'd be like saying we shouldn't ever go out because there are people driving under the influence, or people actively looking to crash/scam you.
Mother's used to nurse others babies all the time. This world is isolating and cold.
Go vegan!
@@mm345-0sure, but the point they were making still stands. Purchasing milk from strangers on the Internet is a huge risk to take for your baby. Milk from a milk bank is extremely heavily regulated and held to very high standards.
It'd be like getting a bloodborne illness from donated blood. Sure, it can happen, but the chances are extremely low because people know the risks and take every possible precaution. Strangers on the Internet, as far as anybody knows, aren't taking any precautions whatsoever.
I couldn't agree more.
Where is her STATUE !? I can only image how many babies she's SAVED, & HELPED. This is a true hero, these are the stories we need to see/hear!
Seriously - she deserves a statue.
Totally deserves it!
Omg I agree!! This is excellent, helping keep babies fed
Any sculptor artist reading this? Please take action. We’ll crowdfund you 😊
A statue for pumping milk? There'd be a lot of cows statued all over cities and towns if that were the case
As someone who overproduced for only about 6 months, I definitely feel for this woman. It's more than inconvenient. It can be painful and can lead to health issues. I think it is amazing that she has taken her situation and made it into something beautiful.
It's painful? 😰
How much you selling for on the next run
@not_ringo it can be. When you over produce, you can become engorged quickly. Engorgment isn't comfortable. You end up so full of milk your breasts become hard, and you have to pump or nurse to relieve the pressure. And you can always end up with clogged milk ducts or even mastitis.
It can also affect nursing. If you're too engorged, it is hard for the baby to latch, but that isn't the only problem. Your baby needs a balance of fore milk and hind milk. Fore milk has a higher water and sugar content, while hind milk has more fat and protein. When you over produce and try to nurse your baby gets to much fore milk and not enough hind milk. To counteract this I only nursed on one side while i pumped on the other for relief. If I was really engorged I would pump off some before I'd nurse.
I didn't produce nearly as much as the woman in the video. I imagine she couldn't nurse at all and likely had to pump and then give her baby a bottle of her breastmilk.
@Voyager5171 I never sold mine, though I did give some away. It was a lot of work to get my supply regulated but now I only produce what my little one needs. I know overproduction sounds like a blessing, and in some ways, it is, but it also creates some issues no one thinks about.
In the video, she mentions foremilk and hindmilk. Foremilk has more water and sugar in it, and hindmilk has more protein and fats. Both are very important. When you over produce, your baby will get more foremilk and less hindmilk if you nurse. There are things that can be done (like pumping a little before nursing so the baby gets both), but considering how much this woman produced, I imagine she couldn't actually breastfeed her own baby. She likely had to give her baby her pumped milk in a bottle instead.
There is nothing wrong with that, but I personally would have been heartbroken if I had lost out on that experience with my little one.
I would have helped in that situation.. there's no such thing as overproduction when there are hungry men around!!
I understand that its technically a disability and so difficult to live with, but this woman has saved possibly hundreds ot thousands of young human lives. I'd say she has been gifted. Thank goodness for her.
I feel really bad for this woman, she seems really sad about her condition. But she should definitely hold her head to the highest being such an absolute super mom and using her curse as a blessing to feed those babies. This woman needs a statue built in her honor. A real woman being a real hero. We’ve glorified and immortalized people for less.

What she’s doing is amazing.
I personally fed my son donor breastmilk when he was a newborn bc my milk was not enough for him (he was a 10lb baby and was eating 3oz by 4 weeks) & he had oral restrictions that made nursing him painful. A few moms were generous with their donations and thanks to them my baby was able to gain the weight he needed to gain & he’s a healthy 4.5 month old now :) & happy when breastfeeding
I'm confused did you mean eating 3 oz at 4 weeks old... I would think a 10 lb baby would be eating 3 oz at birth. HELP!
I've always donated whatever baby stuff I got free since I do surveys and some of them had me sign up for things had three different formulas come in one box gave to mom to give to family friend who was expecting and told Mom to tell her do whatever she wanted to do with the ones she didn't use one was for normal and I forget the other two she was grateful for it
@@beverlyarcher3744 what the survey be? Can you please highlight some details about it..
Yes. By 2.5 months he was eating 8-9oz. Luckily we had a 3 people donated 2,000oz all together which helped my son not he labeled failure to thrive since we didn’t want to do formula. But eventually at 3 months we caved in and did Kendamil.
At his 4 months appointment he weighed in at 21lbs and 29 inches. He’s bigger than most babies in our church friend group. My friend’s one year old is only 20lbs.

In Islam, the relationship established through breastfeeding is called **"Rada’a"** (milk kinship), and it holds significant importance. If a woman breastfeeds a child, that child becomes her milk son or daughter, and likewise, the woman's biological children become the milk siblings of the child.
Islamic jurisprudence clearly states that relationships are established through breastfeeding, and the same rules apply to these relationships as they do for blood relations, such as prohibitions on marriage.
If a woman stores her breast milk in the fridge and then feeds it to other children, those children will become her milk children, and they will be considered milk siblings to each other. As a result, those children would not be permitted to marry each other, because milk kinship also makes marriage forbidden.
Therefore, if a woman stores her breast milk and gives it to other children, those children will develop milk kinship relationships, which align with Islamic teachings.
@@codewithincredible huh TIL. Now I’m thinking about the soap opera shenanigans possible with that. Like a mother doesn’t like her son’s intended bride so she secretly feeds her the frozen breast milk to sabotage the marriage by adopting her in secret

Breastmilk is crucial for micropreemies. She is a hero for babies that need donated breastmilk. I realize this is a burden for her, but i hope she is comforted knowing what a important thing she is doing for babies.
Makes me wonder what the milk products cost the patient's family vs how much she is getting compensated (probably nothing if it's anything like blood products.)

Yeah she can definitely sell it, I think it’s cool that she decided to donate instead. Many families are in great need that don’t have the money to provide for their babies. 😊
donating to hospitals is great. When it comes to families who don't want to use formula... I would charge something.
Yes
So much respect and admiration for her sacrifice making a lot of milk hurts if you don't let it out even though it sprays out of you. There's nothing like pumping or breastfeeding to alleviate that pain and pressure.
She deserves so much recognition. She's amazing. I pray her surgery goes well and she gets to enjoy a new chapter of freedom and joy after such a long time of helping others.
This woman is a saint and needs to be canonized. The sacrifice she's making for the benefit of untold numbers of families is truly heroic.

@@VVinterl3ear exactly! All donated milk is tested, and subsequently pasteurized, then placed into individual little bottles, with labels that can be scanned… and when fed to the neonates it’s heated in a milk warmer (Medela brand is typical) so all precautions are taken.

This kind of women have existed since always. My grandmother used to tell stories about one women in a village, she was a star because she was helping other women when no powder milk was available. This woman is just a gift for humanity ❤️
They say it takes a village.
My mom told me a story once about my Grammie. She was breastfeeding one of my aunts or uncles, and a woman in the neighborhood got really sick and needed to go to the hospital. She had a baby who was breastfeeding at the time and who couldn't or wouldn't take formula. The husband was losing his mind because he had other children and the baby was screaming and his wife was really ill, and my Grammie got word and told him to bring the baby over and she would feed them until the mom recovered. She would tandem feed the neighbors baby and her own.
And, of course, wet-nurses also used to be a thing.
This woman made her disabling challenge into her superpower. It’s so amazing. How wonderful to have someone like her in this world to help some of the most vulnerable survive.
Coming from someone who was an under producer and my son couldn’t stomach formula correctly.. thank you 💙 my supply never fully came in and my baby was starving. We were able to feed my baby with a local mom’s breastmilk. You and so many others have helped our babies. Thank you 💙 a million times over for helping these babies 💙
My biggest worry for this woman is how many nutrients are flowing out of her body constantly. I assume the risk of osteoporosis is huge.
She must have to eat constantly
I’ve gotten half way through the video, which means I might be missing the point where she can choose to just dry up. Which is doable but I might be putting my foot into my mouth listening further to understand her condition, she also needs to understand that this can absolutely harm her adrenal glands the constant stimulation, who knows what long term effects she will have on her body. 7:06 ok so she’s talking about stopping it eventually. If she just stops stimulating them I believe her body will just stop producing, right now she has a baby which is stimulating her very well. 🤍🫶🏽🤍 Praying for her relief 🫶🏽🫶🏽

I have not stopped producing milk since I had my daughter in 2008. I also have a pituitary tumor that causes prolactin production which causes milk production.

This is so awesome. Thank you so much for doing this! I didn't know this was a thing. The milk donation and the condition of hyperlactation.
As babys my twin and I were dependent on milk donations. And luckily we had someone donating milk for us. So so so thankful that you are doing this!❤
昔は日本も「もらい乳」といって母乳が出ない母親は知り合い近所の授乳中の母親に頼んで授乳してもらうことがよくありました。
私の子供は低出生体重児だったので毎日搾乳器や手で母乳を絞って冷凍し病院にもっていきましたが、搾乳の辛さは相当なものでした。小さい頃はお母さんの乳房は柔らかく、痛みなど感じないのだと勘違いしていましたが、実際に自分がなってみると乳首は非常に敏感で痛く、乳房も張って思春期と同じように痛いのにその乳房を絞らなければもっと痛くなるという地獄を味わいました。そんなことを普通の人の何百倍も経験するなんて本当に信じられない。
When my baby was 3 months old, I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Treatment option has rendered a drastic reduction in my breastmilk. I really want the benefit of human breastmilk for my baby, so I broadcasted my appeal in our local breastfeeding group. The love response was overwhelming that my baby get to enjoy donated breastmilk up to 10months of age. We are just so grateful for milk sharing
I have so much respect for her turning her disability into such a very special gift to so many little babies in need.
I think that there are very few people out there that would be able and willing to do what she is doing day in, day out for so many years!
May your future and those of all the babies and family's you helped be bright!

It should be mentioned here how important it is for babies to get the colostrum from breastmilk. These babies are SO fortunate to be receiving this!!
I dont think they would get colostrum since colostrum is the pre milk before a womans milk comes in. My youngest is six so I might be wrong
@@loralubimaia2783 you're correct.
I’m amazed at how much colostrum she made! And that’s over and above what her own baby used.

That's *Awesome* that she turned her "disability" into an amazing donation/ gift to children (I mean; she could have let it bring her down and treat it like "waste," but instead she "embraced it.").
She's definitely an angel. Not sure if she's been tested for a pituitary tumor, which can cause excess prolactin. There's medications to lower prolactin. There's also surgical removal of the tumor. I hope she sees this and gets help.
She talks about those options in the video if you watch to the end.
@@ashleyspianoprogress1341 and if you watch it carefully she doesn't talk about tumor at all, she's only talking about the medication and surgery to remove her breasts (double mastectomy). OP's point still stands, she may not know if she has pituitary tumor (a type of brain tumor) or not, this may be the root cause of the hyperprolactinemia in the first place
Besides which not everything is caused by tumours, as she had pointed out at the start, what she has is very very rare and any Dr worth his weight in salt would have checked for tumours. By referring to tumours you cast such a negative view on what she has spent the last 15 years of her life doing for all the right reasons. She would have been given those options at the very beginning but what she saw was not something to be down or negative about but as something that could be used to help so many other people out there.
I am just glad she had more positive people around her to help her and she in turn has worked with companies that have designed the very pumps that many working Moms of today are actually using to express the milk for their own children so that they are being fed using he own breast milk.
She has looked at the medication which has far too many side affects that can and could cause her medical issues if taken. She has looked at the double mastectomy and at this time in her life she’s not interested, especially if she has not fully committed to not having more children in the near future.
For now she feels that this is something that needs to be seen so that others who can help with Brest milk are made aware of their options. For so many decades wet-nurses have been looked down at because pre-WWII they were used by the very rich, and the very poor found it as a way to feed their families. A woman can Brest feed a child from birth up-to the age of 3 years of age. Because of this they became in high demand by the rich as long as they were healthy.
Wet nurses are still needed today, there are so many women who are not able to produce enough of their own breast milk for their child, plus the many premi-babies that are born today is higher now than it was 30-40 years ago plus more if these babies are now living, but because if the distress of having their babies delivered early can cause the mothers milk to never come in at all.
Thanks you
@@dawsie Trying to help someone by suggesting they should check for tumors is not negative.
Her struggle has become a blessing to others. She may not always see it this way, but her very existence is a gift to so many people. What an amazing woman.
I hope the parents who receive her milk return the favor as much as possible. They could help package milk, deliver it, babysit her kids, go shopping for her, and a million other small things to make her life easier. She is wonderful for continuing to feed so many babies even though it makes her life much harder. :)
A lot of the parents receiving the milk at the time are in hospital with their babies, but yes certainly after their babies have recovered 😊
My bubba was born 10 weeks premature and was really sick in hospital for 6 weeks. I actually had a surplus of milk at the time because he couldn’t feed, which isn’t usual for a mum with a very early preterm baby, so I offered to donate a portion of my milk to the hospital for other mums but couldn’t because of the medication that I’m on 😢
Regardless, I’m sure those parents are incredibly grateful for this lady helping their babies to survive ❤
They usually can't... All the families I donated to were in crisis mode. Sometimes it's financially, others are straggling medically, or even just too exhausted after working 3 jobs 4wks postpartum..... I never ask anything from these families. Just knowing I can lift some of that burden by helping nurture their little one is enough. A less stressed mom is a better one! It's an amazing process! Some mom's choose to sell their breastmilk, as many companies buy it to research it's properties (usually formula companies), but it has far more value to a family who is struggling, even if nothing is exchanged financially.
I think you have the wrong idea of what being generous is. You give to give, not to get.
@@charlescharliechazz I agree, donating is about giving, not receiving. However, she is paying a very high price to be able to do this, and needs all the support she needs. Them helping her so she is not so exhausted will allow her to continue and help more babies. I don't think they should give back as an obligation. Rather, I would encourage them to give back along with her.
@wildflower1397 If the family is already struggling to feed their baby and is dealing with Preemie/NICU babies, they likely don't have the extra time to help her by babysitting and packaging the milk. They should not feel guilty for accepting such a generous gift.
This woman should be paid for the service she is providing.
Just imagine hundreds of years ago having a baby and not being able to feed it. Insane. This woman is a blessing
I think they had people for this issue. They called them wet nurses.
She would’ve been the ultimate wet nurse. That being said, I feel sorry for her.
@@apara2005 Only for the wealthy though, if you couldn't afford it then your baby would just die
@@razmiddle9410 I would imagine that for not rich people, if they had a friend who had given birth around the same time maybe that friend would help them and breastfeed their baby until it was strong enough to be weened and have other milk
I know women who breastfed each other's babies while the other was at work. I think these kinds of agreements come about more easily in places where most women have lots of babies.
This woman should be on a pedestal and should sooo much more support for what she is doing, and to keep her donating as long as possible. What am amazing role and yes I would be looking at a mastectomy as well if I was her. Wow!!
Wow. Thank you, Elizabeth, for turning this condition into something to benefit others. Thank you, thank you!
this actually hurts me imagining how much pain she must have gone through before now
Its really heartwarming and really nice to see she is helping a lot of people, even its hard on her body everyday. Respect for this lady.
What an amazing husband and kids too! I can’t imagine the time she spends away from them, dealing with the side effects of her condition. What a beautiful family ❤
Absolutely the most beautiful thing she could do with her milk. I really have so much respect for her devotion to the cause of helping babies who need the breast milk. So sorry that her choices are so stark to in order to be able to end her milk production. She has a beautiful family and a very supportive husband. She’s a modern day heroine to so many.
I am udderly amazed at her kidness, I find this very mooving.
@@jrollio 💀💀💀
I feel like this violates some 'Assault' or 'Slander' laws somewhere
What an amazing woman! Bless her heart for helping so many.
What an absolute legend. I cannot think of a more noble course than turning a disability into a blessing for others in need. ❤
This woman Is an Absolute Hero! She turned her disability and discomfort intona blessing for others. She's great! I Wish her all the best❤
I had a huge oversupply. I fed my son, stocked our freezer with extra milk for my son, and donated 15Litres to the local milk bank. My niece was a 28 week baby and my sister had a supply issue with her milk due to the stress. I like to think i got to help another baby like her.
I feel for this woman, it’s hard to be tied to a pump. You can get mastitis and blocked ducts which can be so painful. I had mastitis which developed into an abscess that needed to be drained by needle under ultrasound twice and I was referred to a breast surgeon before it finally settles and responded to the antibiotics.
You HAVE to stay on top of pumping/feeding.
This is such a wonderful thing for her to do for families.
There really is something so special about being able to help another mama feed her baby. I've done it once before, and feel strongly about doing it again after this baby is born. I'm also very glad that the medical community is admitting that tiny babies aren't designed to accept man-made products, and that breast milk really is so important.
Do you understand this is not just for babies?
@@mentosandcola9534 stop trying to normalize your weird kinks in these comments it’s foul
Wow- this woman is an angel! The amount of babies she has helped- she deserves all the blessings and appreciation!
I just truly admire you Ms. Elizabeth. You have overcome your difficulty and have grown stronger by each passing day, which has made you become the most beautiful human being. ❤ Lots of love and respect to you.
She deserves a medal, she turning lemons into lemonade & literally saving lives. Idk how she does it, she’s superwoman
I’m so amazed! She’s saving so many babies and helping so many new mothers. Thank you! ♥️
You are doing the best service! Saving and growing babies lives! You are amazing!
So happy she is able and willing to help other babies and families even though the condition is so hard on her. She's an angel. ❤
There’s a lot I didn’t know about breast milk that I learned thanks to this video. She’s such a wonderful hero helping so many parents be able to raise their babies healthy. This is beautiful ❤
Definitely should be voted woman of the year! What a blessing this woman produced with her unique body which benefited babies and families.
Nope the people want kaitlyn jenner
@@michaelxchi you mean Dylan Mullaney?
I know she is struggling in her own way because of all the milk and being tied to a schedule. But this is the answer I've been searching for and she gave me so many more than I wanted. She is awesome. Thank you
What answer?
Oh, I didn't specify it. I was thinking about if such conditions exists. Also if there is any organisation that takes donated milk etc. Just those questions I got at the back of my head while breastfeeding
@@angelinapyankova290 how does she sleep at night if she can't stop making breast milk
Nestle is SHAKING right now
3 years ago when my son was born 3 months early. I wanted someone like her to donate milk to my premiee. Thank you for sharing dear.
Wow, she pumps more in one session than I could in an entire day. Deep respect for you. Pumping is hard and to do this for years and years, wow, you are a hero
Elisabeth is amazing! I can see love eminating from her. She is using her gift to help so many mothers, but I hope she can get some ease in her life.
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time thank you for the share. Our society does not recognize the benefits and the sacrifices it takes to nurse. Thank you
As someone who pumped for 10 months for daughter, I feel for her. Yes it’s wonderful she can help babies, but the pain, the leaking, the cleaning of the pump parts, and all the milk bags! It’s a labor of love
There's a special place in the world for this woman and she's in it.
What a saint.
My mom did this when I was born. Mind you that was in 1974. She made a lot of happy babies. She kept up with the parents until we moved. I always thought she was awesome for doing this. I love that these babies she is helping will thrive.
I remember when I had to pump out my milk every 2-3 hours just to get 25-40 oz a day and I really was tired. Also, I needed to take caltabs everyday just to maintain bone strenght. So what she's been doing is so dedicating, salute to her.
What, but 25 Oz are a lot
@@supermiimi 25oz a day is enough for one child and I have 2 babies at the same time, so one of them had to drink some formula milk as well. Her milk supplies are much more than enough for 2 babies, she must be more tired too.
