It can mean the very basics of the scriptures. The reference speaks of people who never move past this stage of understanding as babies never moving onto solid foods.

In Hebrews,, the author is speaking to those who were still caught up in legalism, and speculation about who Christ was. These basics they ought to have known, as they had been Christians for some time.

12For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
