Serena Williams is doing her best to make the holiday season as smooth as possible for breastfeeding moms and families.
On Wednesday, the former tennis player announced that she was donating excess breast milk from a recent trip to New York. Many of her fans applauded the act of kindness, with some dubbing her milk “GOAT’S milk.”
Serena Williams Gets More Respect From Social Media People For Donating Breast Milk
It’s no longer news that Williams uses whatever opportunity she can to help those in need. Her latest act of selflessness came when she decided to donate a handful of expressed breast milk anonymously.
In the announcement video, the athlete’s voice is heard off-camera as she opens the refrigerator, revealing several packets of breast milk. Williams expressed her passion for donating breast milk, saying she was “so excited” to contribute to those in need.
He mentioned that the donation would be anonymous, ending with, “but very excited to help in some way.” In the reel’s caption, the mother of two wrote:
“After being screened, I was able to donate instead of taking milk home. I know many wonderful women who take or can’t make milk. It feels amazing. BTW Someone out there is getting super soldier milk. ?.”
In addition to being liked more than 115k times, the Instagram post also received thousands of comments from appreciative fans who may have felt receptive to such a gesture.
One such person commented, “My baby was adopted and ended up with a severe dairy allergy, so we depended on donor milk. It was a gift to us and I’m always grateful when I think about it!❤️.”
Another grateful fan revealed, “As a NICU mom of twins who need donor milk while waiting for my milk to come in, thank you for donating,” while a third expressed gratitude for the donor milk while remembering the “local donors” who helped them feed them. babies during “very difficult times” experienced “extremely painful feedings.”
They concluded, “I couldn’t be more grateful. It still makes me cringe all these years later,” just as a fourth viewer quipped, “Some backhand kids are getting stronger,” and a fifth chimed in, “That’s GOAT’S MILK!”
“Women support women in the most basic and loving way,” a sixth declared, and a seventh added, “A newborn will do handstands in their bassinet!”
The accolade comes months after The Blast reported that Williams had moved on to giving her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian a Disney-themed name. The confirmation came when Ohanian took to Instagram shortly after the baby’s arrival in August to state:
“Welcome, Adira River Ohanian. I am grateful to report our home is united with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and a happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams now you have given me another incomparable gift — you are GMOAT. Thank you to all the amazing medical staff who took care of my wife & our daughter ? I will never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her little sister.”

Like his wife, Ohanian has gained widespread admiration from fans based on his advocacy for paternity leave. The honor earned was underlined when the Reddit co-founder shared an image on Instagram of himself sitting on a sofa with his now four-month-old daughter on his shoulder.
Olympia, his first daughter, sat next to him, putting a hand on his left shoulder as they watched an episode of “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir” on television. Ohanian captioned the touching photo with “#ParternityLeave.”
While the post received high praise from many social media users, Ohanian highlighted one comment from someone who expressed a desire for their husbands to have paternity leave.
The comment, according to The Blast, read, “It’s a real problem here and one of the many reasons why we need more supportive policies from our employers and our government. Companies in America must take the lead on this if our government doesn’t .” The father of two replied:
“He really deserves it. I’ve been fighting for it for all Americans since Olympia was born, but we’ve only gotten it for federal workers (so far). All the companies I’ve founded have had it and I’ve tried to set an example as a leader in those orgs to show that it’s okay for men to take advantage of it – we can show up for our families AND still be high performers at work.”
Upon seeing Ohanian’s post, another viewer shared, “Thank you for normalizing paternity leave is necessary. It’s good for new mothers and for babies too.”
