Feed

Dear teacher,

I have come across a sentence below. Which contains "feed" that means "to give food to animal and a person" but I am confused when I read the sentence. Could you please make this understand ?


SUckling - #Young child or animal that is still feeding on its mother's milk.#


Thanking you

Here, it is the intransitive form of feed, which means to eat. And, in the case it is drink, of course.
