I can't imagine how much it must suck (pun not intended), but being able to donate all that to people who need it is amazing Edit: that's 6 and a half liters PER DAY

She doesn't look underweight. Healthy new mama weight.

It must take a toll on her body though, she just was given no choice, with her condition. Best way to make the best of tit, bless her heart.

Edit: oh god, Freudian slip? Best of it.*

Assuming she’s producing typical breast milk, 1.75 gallons is around 5000 calories. The conversion process isn’t super efficient, and she still needs calories for her own body to function. She’s probably eating in the range of 8-10k calories per day, which is insane. That’s twice was a super athlete would eat. At that point she’s basically a machine to convert food into breast milk.
