Need a moment talking about newborn's nourishment? (6)
I believe the answer is:
lactic
'need a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'moment talking about newborn's nourishment?' is the wordplay.
'moment' becomes 'tick' (both can mean a very short amount of time).
'talking' shows a homophone (sound like).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'newborn's nourishment?' becomes 'lac' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tick' sounds like 'tic'.
'tic' put after 'lac' is 'LACTIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lactic that I've seen before include "Pertaining to milk" , "Kind of acid" , "Obtained from milk" , "Derived from milk" , "The acid found in milk" .)
