When a mammal is going to have a baby, her body begins to produce milk. After the baby is
born, it drinks this milk. The vitamins and nutrients in the milk help the baby grow strong and
healthy. However, different kinds of mammals need their mother’s milk for different amounts
of time.
Rabbits feed their babies milk twice a day. Baby rabbits only drink milk until they are three
weeks old. After three weeks, they start to eat food such as hay.
Cheetahs drink milk for much longer than rabbits. They stop drinking milk when they are
three or four months old. When they reach this age, their teeth and jaws are stronger. This
means they can eat meat instead of drinking milk.

Before farmers milk their cows, the cows’ udders must be cleaned. The cows are milked
twice a day. They are milked once in the morning and again in the afternoon. Each time, the
farmers wash the cows' udders before milking them.

the warm milk in a special tank to cool.
Then the milk is taken to a processing plant. The plant tests the milk to make sure it is fresh.

drink.

supermarkets. The fresh, delicious milk is ready for us to enjoy!
