milk-fed or suckling both are good but know that if you need US English, we do not use use "suckling" but rather "milk-fed"

roast milk-fed confit lamb

/grilled
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : I couldn't agree with this, as in EN this word order would suggest that 'confit' was some special breed of lamb, for example; the 'milk-fed' and 'lamb' must stay together, and the 'confit' (if retained) placed elsewhere.

roast suckling lamb

We usually speak abt suckling pig, so I believe this is the same in the case of a lamb. The fact it sucks milk. (which is more precise and elegant than Milk fed)
Peer comment(s):

neutral B D Finch : Not so much about precision as the use of a slightly archaic term that gives the dish an aura of tradition. NB the ewe suckles the lamb and 'suckling' would be derived from the verb 'to suckle', rather than directly from the verb 'to suck'.
