Can they become some giant beast and slough off their appendages for food? Does it disappear once they change back? What if it’s already metabolized by then? How about they just make some goodberries instead.
I like the thought that you could choose for what purpose when you select the thing you transform into.
Is it for fighting, traveling, hiding, adventuring, reproduction, collecting materials off from etc
If a person can alter its body composition to become an entirely different species, I don’t think it would be a stretch to say that it can choose to become a member of that species that’s able to produce milk.
For the same reason, in my world druids can choose the gender of the animal they become. You’re a person and you’re turning into a bear, and you can already choose to become a black, brown or white bear; there’s no reason you couldn’t choose if that bear has a dick or not, and I honestly don’t care either way.
That being said, I was being sarcastic. Although it’s not specified RAW, RAI, it would work just like any other magical transformation: anything that detaches from, is produced by or is separated from the “main” magical body, disappears after a short while. Iirc somewhere on Twitter or the Sage Advice there’s confirmation of this (the context wasn’t milk produced by a cow-shaped druid, of course, but venom extracted by a viper-shaped druid).
And if a druid asked to feed their party this way, or a party member asked the druid to do this (either with or without their consent) I wouldn’t allow it because that’s not something I (and probably someone else, too) would be comfortable with.
Can the party’s resident druid wildshape into a cow, eat some grass, get milked, and then turn back into a human?
My God, I’m asking questions that should never be answered.

Don’t they have to give birth first?
