Do reptiles feed their young milk?

No. Only mammals produce and feed their young true milk, that is a lactose-based liquid secreted through mammary glands. Some birds produce that is often called "croup milk", that is a partially digested food mixture, and they regurgitate it to their young, but it is not true milk. Snakes also produce venom, that when harvested (usually for the purpose of making anti-venoms), is often called "milking" the snake. This is not used for any form of feeding, and is not milk either.

What living reptiles take care of their young?

The only ones that seem to show any caring qualities are female alligators & crocodiles. They will stay by the buried eggs until they hatch - warning off any potential threat. Once hatched, she will carry the young reptiles to the nearest water source (usually a river or large lake) and stay close by for the first few weeks until they are self-sufficient.

No. Reptile behavior is almost entirely instinctive and very little is learned. Reptiles generally do not care fore their young.

All birds lay eggs and most of them take care of their young. However, a few mammals and amphibians fit those two criteria, as well. I am unaware of any living reptiles that fit that criteria, although some guard their nests until their young hatch, but many if not most dinosaurs raised their young, and they all laid eggs.
