Suckling is when an infant mammal gets milk from its mother by sucking on her mammary glands or teats; all mammal infants do this including human beings. The word is also used of the mother feeding her young with milk. e.g. "The young mother suckled her newborn child." "When the calves are weaned, they no longer suckle, and the milk can be used for human consumption."

Suckling comes from the verb 'to suckle' and means to feed or suck the milk from the mother's breast. As a noun, it means an unweaned animal (mammal).
