Mammalian infants receive milk from their mothers, unless there is some type of intervention (baby formula, loss of mother, etc).
Milk is produced not only from cattle, but also sheep, goats, yaks, water buffalo, horses, reindeer and camels.
Thousands of years ago a mutation spread through northwestern Europeans which enabled them to produce lactase into adulthood allowing milk to be used as an alternate food source.
