It really depends on what species we're dealing with. I mean- of course, at birth, the baby would be fed with the mother's milk. After a while, it would have to be weaned off the milk and onto whatever the typical diet for that mammal would be. A young bear, for instance, would be taught how to hunt and to find berries and the such.
