I think 'milkwoman' would be the equivalent. Wikipedia lists it. I see it elsewhere as 'milk woman'.

- Since milk delivery is becoming less likely the means of obtaining milk, it might be difficult to find one to ask her what is her preference.
- 'milklady' is unlikely since that would prompt the use of 'milkgentleman' for the male deliverer.

'milklady' is unlikely since that would prompt the use of 'milkgentleman' for the male deliverer. 'Milk deliverer' is a safe bet.
