How many bath tubs?

According to figures obtained from

Smith JP, LH Ingham & MD Dunstone, The economic value of breastfeeding in Australia. National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, The Australia National University, 1998

(where average production per child: 234 L in 1st year, 111 L in 2nd year - Total: 345 L over 2 years)

I have made approximately 1335 litres of milk. (Very approximately!)

I'm trying to think of some kind of comparative measure to get a handle of what 1335 litres looks like.

WikiAnswers told me an average bathtub is 50-60 litres so it is about 25 bathtubs. Have you had 25 baths since you've been breastfeeding?

And this is a 1335 litre tank.

I think this is a good set of bath tubs, although there are only 16 of them.

I've probably had.....hmmm....5 baths in the last six years? And probably sharing most of those, so they don't really count!

Oooo, do like those flash bath tubs though.
