For about the first 45 days of life, the caribou babies only drink their mother's milk, as do all mammals. After this time, they will beign to adopt the adults' diet: lichens (especially reindeer moss), leaves, sedges, and grasses. They will continue to suckle alongside the adult diet until the fall (they are born in late spring). Then, they eat only the adults' diet.
