THERE are four large industrial-strength freezers in her home, but you won’t find any frozen peas, ice-cream or fish fingers inside them. Instead, neatly stashed away on their shelves, are many, many packets of breast-milk.
These packets are what Elisabeth Anderson Sierra refers to as her “labour of love”. Over the years she’s been able to feed thousands of babies with the milk she’s expressed using a breast pump.
The mother-of-three from Oregon in the US has a condition known as hyper-lactation syndrome. She produces more than six litres of breast-milk a day, which is around 10 times more than the average lactating woman.
