residual milk
Generally, I find it difficult to translate non-contextual words and terms.
Folgemilch seems to imply that some milk is still "flowing", usually a small quantity.
I am a native speaker of German.

: Try google search with "follow-up milk" in quotes: only 100 hits, not all of which are relevant. My initial guess was also "follow-up" but I'm now convinced otherwise.

follow-up formula
Forget my first suggestion, follow-up milk. Follow-up formula gets 1000 Googles. I guess it just boils down to whether the target language is British or American English.
