It may be uncanny in our world, but Nirn has slightly altered rules for life. In all the lore I've seen (and I admit I'm no expert) it's stated that young Argonians are born, not hatched. The species is ovoviviparous, not oviparous.

Also, they don't receive nourishment from breastmilk. The young drink the sap of Hist trees.

It's my view that the breasts are purely for attracting a mate, and have no actual mammary glands (they're not portrayed with nipples, after all). Veezara mentions how he was trained to be a shadowscale from the day he first hatched.
