do dolphins breast feed?

Yes they do. The female has two additional mammary slits on either side of the genital slit which retains the nipples.

Being a mammal, dolphins have mammary glands and feed their young milk.Females have mammary glands located on either side of their genital opening. The nipples are generally withdrawn into the body. When a calf is nursing, the nipples emerge and milk is squirted into the calf's mouth.

Dolphins are mammals, and all mammals have hair, and produce milk for their young.
