No. Most reptiles don't care for their young, with the exceptions of crocodiles and other members of that family. When a mother lizard lays her eggs, she will watch them until they hatch. When they hatch, the mother lizard will leave, leaving the babies to fend for themselves.

No, they do not. Only mammals suckle their young, although, because of the platypus and echidna, which DO suckle their young (even though they hatch from eggs) there has been some confusion on this subject.

No. Only mammals giv their young milk. Most reptiles do not care for their young, leaving them to fend for themselves. Some species will protect their young from predators for a time, but parental care does not extend beyond that.

Monotremes do produce milk for their young, like all mammals. However, unlike other mammals that exist today, monotremes do not have nipples. Instead, the milk seeps out of specialized pores, and the babies lap up the milk.

You mean, "Do all mammals nurse their young?" or "Do all young mammals suckle?" The answer is yes.

Some do. All baby reptiles should be removed from adults except in cases like crocodiles who actually care for their young. Reptiles generally have no sentimentality.
