Yes. Koalas are marsupials, which belong to the group of animals known as mammals. All mammals feed their young on mothers' milk. For the first few months of their lives, young koalas (joeys) feed exclusively on mothers' milk.
Koala joeys drink mother's milk during their 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.
