A baby koala starts drinking milk immediately. As soon as it is born, it makes its way to the mother's pouch, lured by the smell of mothers' milk. There, it latches onto a nipple which swells in its mouth, securing it in place. A baby koala, which is called a joey, is nourished by mother's milk during its first 6-7 months of life.
After 30 weeks, the mother produces a substance called pap. This substance is actually a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves.
