In an experiment using human milk with rabbits the researchers "instilled 0.4
ml per kg of breast milk at its native pH level (6.6 - 7.4) into rabbits'
lungs [and]
found NO EVIDENCE of lung injury."  Emphasis mine.

That study was the Can J Anaesth 1994 41:A57 article by Shorten et al: The
efffects of pulmomary aspiration of human breast milk and normal saline in
the intubated rabbit.

Now if this isn't even milk species specific and doesn't cause damage then it
would seem to be no problem for humans.
