JILL Duggar has warned fans to "chill" after she fed a two-year-old bottle of her breast milk to the family dog.

The Counting On star, 30, took to her Instagram page to detail how she'd let son Sam, aged three, try some of the milk after finding it in the freezer.

Although he requested it, Sam decided he didn't like the taste so Jill gave it to her 'third child' pet pooch instead.

Instagramming a snap of her dog lapping it up, she was then quick to see off any haters in her caption, pre-warning critics to relax about it.

"Before any of you jump on me for feeding it to the dog, she’s fine," Jill wrote. "She’s totally fine. I wouldn’t have given it to her if I thought it would make her sick. So just chill mkay?!"

Replying to the mom-of-two, one fan wrote: "Seriously, if anyone jumped on you about this, I would point out how humans drink cow milk so how would that be any different than a dog drinking human milk??"

Another commented: "This! Dogs eat poo and who knows what else... I wouldn't worry if someone gets on you for giving it to your dog! He's your baby too!"

A third said: "It’s frozen milk. It’s not the worst thing the dog will ever eat (it would be a miracle if it was!)."

Jill had told fans that she'd kept the bottle of "liquid gold" in her freezer despite her kids having long finished drinking breastmilk.

The reality star uploaded a snap showing the pooch licking the milk from her silver bowl, saying: "I’ve had my last teeny bottle of breast milk in the freezer for nearly a couple years now (both my boys stopped breastfeeding around 2 years old and Sam is almost 4 now!).

"I know I know…it’s probably a freezer-burnt nutrition-less substance now…

"Well, Sam randomly asked to try it recently and it didn’t look or smell bad when I thawed it out so I let him try it. As expected, he didn’t like it after trying a couple sips.

"Needless to say, now all 3 of my children have now had breast milk."

Jill, who is married to Derick Dillard, added: "Anyone else feel sentimental about their “liquid gold?

"Whoever coined the phrase, 'no use crying over spilled milk' certainly never pumped!"

Jill has often defied the strict rules followed by her father Jim Bob Duggar and the 19 Kids And Counting family.

She was recently spotted flashing her legs in a mini dress in a new social media snap.

Jill's new duds may surprise viewers because of her father and his stringent rules for their Christian lifestyle.

Duggar women are not allowed to show their legs or dress in a revealing manner. They also cannot wear pants.

Meanwhile last month, Jill's brother Josh was arrested and then granted bail after "possessing 65 images of child porn."

Despite his release, the TLC star has restricted travel, as he cannot leave Benton, Washington, and Madison counties in Arkansas without permission from the court.

Josh's wife Anna is six months pregnant with their seventh child, and he has been required to live away from the family as he is not allowed to be around minor children.

The oldest Duggar child has "unlimited access" to his six children with Anna present, though can no longer spend time around his siblings, nieces and nephews.

This week, Jill told fans 'trust your gut' in a cryptic message posted after his arrest.

Jill, who has told of her mental and physical stress during the past few weeks, posted an inspiring message about having "moments of doubt" in an Instagram Story.
