Suckle

The dream may ask where something new and dependent is being nourished into strength, and whether you can recognise, in the tender feeding of what's young, a sign that good conditions are developing to carry your hopes forward.

If a married woman dreams of suckling a child, it foretells that she will soon give birth to another; should a bachelor dream of seeing a child suckled, he had better make up his mind that he will soon have a young lady's board to pay.
