*Serena Williams recently revealed that she is donating her leftover breast milk to mothers unable to breastfeed.
In a short clip online, Williams reveals a freezer full of frozen “super solider” milk bags. She captioned the footage: “On a recent trip to NY I had left over breast milk. After going through a screening I was able to donate it instead of taking the milk home. I know so many amazing women that adopt or are unable to make milk. It felt amazing. BTW Someone out there is getting some super soldier milk. “
The tennis champ says she’s “really excited” to donate “to people who really need it.”
Several of Williams’ fans and celebrity pals reacted in the post’s comments section, with one person writing, “Somebody’s newborn is about to do handstands in their bassinet!”
Another IG user added, “The kid will never hear the end of it. “I gave you Serena Williams milk and you only got a B+?” “I gave you Serena Williams milk and you only got the bronze medal?” “I gave you Serena Williams milk and you won’t do your chores?” Joking aside, that is a wonderful gift.”

“My baby is adopted and ended up having severe dairy allergies, so we relied on donor milk. It was such a gift to us and I’m always so grateful when I think about it,” one person wrote, per Vibe, while another commented, “This made me teary. My premature twins lived on donated milk for their first month. So grateful for women like you! (and really wish it had been yours!!”
Actress Holly Robinson Peete wrote, “That stuff is magical!! I used to put it on cuts and burns too!!”
Williams revealed recently that she used her breast milk to treat sunburn on her face.
“I was in the sun… long story. Anyways, I’m trying some breast milk,” she said in a video posted on social media. “It works for my kid — they say put breast milk on everything and I have a lot extra, so I’m gonna try it for a week or so under my eye and see how it goes.”
In a follow-up post, the mom of two shared, “OK is this totally weird??? I have to say after a week of using MY breast milk under my eye — it worked! I’m dying to hear your thoughts.”
Williams shares two minor daughters with her husband, Alexis Ohanian.
