All mammals feed on mothers' milk when they are babies. Marsupials are a sub-group of mammals, so they also feed on mothers' milk. the other sub-group of mammals are the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals (platypuses and echidnas). Although they lay eggs, they are also classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk.
