Anderson-Sierra has been donating milk for two and a half years

Typically, a woman only produces one pint a day to feed her child.

Elizabeth Anderson-Sierra produces 10 times that a day. This happens because of her hyper-lactation condition.

She donates the extra to milk banks and individual parents.

The milk helps gay couples as well as mothers who cannot produce milk because of premature births or mastectomies.

Elisabeth has four freezers in which she stores the milk

‘It’s a full-time job’

Anderson-Sierra spoke to local news KATU: ‘Breastmilk is liquid gold, it should never be thrown away.

‘Being able to help so many babies every single day is just a beautiful thing. There are overproducers out there, that are willing to share, and willing to help.’

Anderson-Sierra can spend anywhere between five to ten hours a day producing the milk.

The 29-year old has said it is ‘almost like a full-time job’.
