MILK RECORD:
Woman paid for a car with breast milk
Av Morten Ø. Karlsen og Carin Pettersson 31.03.04 11:55



Anette Lie has the Norwegian record for delivery of breast milk. She made so
much on the breast milk that she purchased a car for the money.

According to the Norwegian radio channel Kanal 24, Lie has produced 501.5
liters breast milk for sale last since May of last year.

«I'm making some money on this as they pay 135 krone per liter,» Lie said to
TV 2. «I've gotten my driver's license and bought a car, everything paid by
breast milk.»

With the liter price of NOK 135 (USD 19.56), Lie got an income of more than
NOK 65,000 (USD 9430) on her breast milk. She has an 11 month old son.

According to Lie, it is genetic explanations why she produced so much milk.

«My mother was the same way, and I've heard my grand mother nursed children
around town, so it's hereditary,» Lie said. «It's my hormones. I apparently
have lots of them.»

Kanal 24 reported that the hospital across the country need breast milk, but
stressed that the deliveries do not have to as large as those from Lie.

The average donor provides one and half to two liters a week, while Lie has
delivered as much as 11 liters.

Even 2 liters is a lot of milk - 71 ounces? That's 10 ounces a day of
*extra* milk. And she's producing 56 ounces. A day. Wow.

When my DD was born I was pumping for her as she would not latch on right
away. The public health nurse told me to pump every 2-3 hours which I did
and she said double pumping would produce more, so I double pumped. I was
pumping about 9 times a day (would get up at night to pump to as I wanted to
maintain my supply). I didn't even think about it...DD was only eating 3
ounces or so at a time but I was pumping about 7-9 oz. at a time, that's at
least 63 oz a day sometimes more! Moooooooo. Needless to say when I stopped
pumping I became engorged and got mastitis :-(

And isn't that a fun experience? I don't pump full time, but after
immediately after nursing Aries, I can still pump out a good 10 ounces
from each breast. Wish I didnt' hate pumping, might have pumped more
in the beginning to donate. Course, if I dont' pump during a missed
feed, I'm engorged.... usually engorged before it's time for him to
eat.

Ugh.
