    Don’t echidnas and platypuses also lay eggs and feed their young milk?

      Yes, but all mammals by definition produce milk

      Thing is this isn’t even the second time mothers secreting food for babies has evolved - some birds do it as well as mammals (birds are basically just mammals 2.0 really, warm blooded, big brains, produce milk, highly active)
