Milk bottles being transported on Earth. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

Milk was a substance secreted by mammals to feed their young.

Milk-producing species

Whether the female of a species exuded milk from its nipples or from simple ducts to nurture its young was one of the defining traits of mammals. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) Similar nourishing substances were produced by non-mammalian species. Malmooth could drink their own internal milk, (TV: Utopia) while the green milk produced by Skarasens was fed on by the Zygons. (PROSE: Sting of the Zygons, PROSE: The Bodysnatchers)

The only known cure for spectrox toxaemia was the milk from a queen bat. (TV: The Caves of Androzani)

The seemingly male Sontarans could be genespliced to produce milk. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)

Milk as a beverage

Milk was also used by other species as a drink. The humans of Earth harvested and drank the milk of cows. Milk was often sold in glass bottles, and delivered by milkmen. (TV: The Stolen Earth, Hide) The Eleventh Doctor once drank milk from a bottle. (TV: Hide)

The Ninth Doctor travelled to Earth at least every five days, which Rose Tyler attributed to him having to get milk. He seemed annoyed that, of all the universe, it had to come from a cow. (TV: The Empty Child)

Milk was often used in tea and coffee to add taste. (PROSE: Theatre of War) Milk was sold in cartons or glass bottles, and delivered by milkmen. (TV: The Stolen Earth) It was sometimes drunk warm as a sleep aid. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)

In some locations, such as the planet Sto, milk was sold in a Milk Market. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
