I have a theory. Like Br3admax said, Argonians are not 100%, purely reptilian. They are shown to possess warm blood.

Also, they are OVOVIVIPAROUS. This means that, like the other races, they get "pregnant", however their offspring develop inside of eggs that are retained in the body until ready to hatch. (I do not want to suffer alone on this: I just can't imagine, nor do I want to imagine, going into labor/birthing an egg. Jesus that must hurt like hell. I'm going to assume 100% C-Section rate and they close the wound with Histskin regenerative abilities or something along those lines.)

Because the embryos develop within eggs, they rely solely on Egg-Yolk for base nutrition before hatching. After they hatch, no more yolk. Perhaps female Argonians have breasts to provide nutrients for their young during that "in-between" stage when they can't get yolk, and don't have any teeth/decent teeth meant for eating the racial diet?

Back to the not-purely-reptilian. It could be a form of milk, it could be something else. That's another argument that's far less reasonable to yell about than this. Good question, and I was happy to answer it for you :)
