What advantage is there in nourishing the young with milk from the mammary gland rather than with the food in the yolk of a reptilian egg?

The biggest reason for choosing breast milk for babies is that it contain's the mother's antibodies. These protect infants from many common illnesses, infections, and diseases that could kill a newborn if they were not protected.
The second biggest reason is the risk of bacterial infection that is common in uncooked egg material.
The third big reason is that an infant would not get the balanced nutrients needed from the yoke of a reptile's egg.
And a close third reason is that newborns likely can not digest the yoke as easily as breast milk. Breast milk, though very rich in nutrients, is rather bland. This ensures easier digestion until the child's digestive system is able to tolerate a wider variety of foods.

What advantage is there in nourishing the young with milk from the mammary gland rather than with the food in the yolk of an reptilian egg?
Mammary glands allow the mother to feed its young without leaving the nest or burrow. The young is given an easily digestible source of food. While feeding on the milk the young also benefits from the parents presence, which provides warmth and protection. While the food in the yolk of a reptilian egg has limited amount of nutrients and moreover the reptilian eggs are easily exposed to predator and disease. They are often independent at birth and must survive on their own. (finzio liflio)

Is a dwarf crocodile a mammal?
A crocodile is not a mammal, rather, it is a reptile. The defining characteristic of mammals is the possession of mammary glands (hence the name). These are the glands which make milk to feed the young (one of the definitions of mammal),and only mammals have them. Crocodiles do not feed their young on milk, do not have mammary glands and cannot therefore be mammals.
