New mother Olivia Wilde attempted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in a different way by dumping chilly "breast milk" instead of ice water over herself, reported Yahoo News.

In the video she posted of her performing the Ice Bucket Challenge, Olivia, an advocate of breastfeeding, said that she couldn't find any water, so she was using breast milk and it took her all night to make it.

Wilde, the fiancee of Jason Sudeikis and mother of Otis, 4-month old, cleared up the confusion on Twitter by posting the following message:

Oh wait some of you thought that was really breast milk? Oh dear. Uh thank you? But my boobs aren't that generous. Haha.

Olivia, who accepted the challenge from actor Ty Simpkins and actress Dianna Agron has made it clear in the video that she is just not doing the challenge but donating it as well in the honour of her friend, Scott Lew. She has nominated Cory Booker, the New Jersey senator, Gloria Steinem, a women's rights advocate and an artist known as Prince.

Her fiance accepted the challenge from Mitt Romney, the former U.S. presidential nominee, and poured ice cold water over himself.

ALS is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that causes the patients to lose control of their muscles, with a possibility of total paralysis. It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or motor neurone disease.

ALS Association raised funds through the Ice Bucket Challenge, almost $63 million dollars, in which a person had to post a video of him pouring a bucket of ice water over his head and then nominating three others to do the same, failure to do so means they have to make a donation of an amount between $10 and 100 as decided by the one nominating. Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Lady Gaga also took part in the challenge.

The ALS Association wrote on it's Web site, "Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralysed."
