Yes, this can be dangerous as your puppy may aspirate some milk into the lungs and develop serious pneumonia as a result. Your puppy should be checked for cleft palate - sometimes a small cleft will not stop the puppy from feeding from the mum but at the same time some milk may get into the nose and lungs. I think you can check it yourself by looking at the roof of the puppy's mouth. If you are not sure how to do it, please take the puppy to your local vets.

Milk coming out of the nose is concerning, and is often a sign of a birth defect called a cleft palate. I would recommend having this pup checked by a veterinarian to see if he has this problem, or if something else is wrong.
