Texas Mom Sets Record with Life-Saving Breastmilk Donations
Alyse Ogletree, a 36-year-old mom from Flower Mound, Texas, has done something truly extraordinary—and it’s earning her a Guinness World Record!
Alyse recently became the world’s largest breastmilk donor, having shared over 2,645 liters of breastmilk. To put that in perspective, her donations have helped nearly 350,000 premature babies who rely on breastmilk for essential nutrients.
Alyse’s journey started over a decade ago, back in 2014, when she set her first record with 1,569 liters donated. At that time, she realized she was producing more milk than her own children needed and found a unique way to give back. Since then, she’s dedicated herself to making a difference for other families. Now, this Texas mom has broken her own record, doubling down on her mission to help vulnerable infants.
Alyse’s donations go to milk banks, which provide life-saving nutrition to premature infants in hospitals. She’s not doing it for the spotlight or fame though! She’s motivated by a genuine desire to give back. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Alyse said, "I have a big heart, [but] at the end of the day, I’m not made of money…donating milk was a way I could give back."
Alyse’s contributions highlight how a simple act can have a ripple effect, touching thousands of lives!
So, a big Texas shoutout to Alyse Ogletree for her incredible accomplishment and selfless heart. Her journey reminds us all that giving back doesn’t always mean writing a check—sometimes, it’s as personal as sharing a part of yourself with those who need it most!
