: Yes, "to imbibe X with their mother's milk" is a nice idiomatic phrase in English, even if not used as much as in earlier times. But maybe try to get it out of the passive: "respect for private property is something they need to imbibe with their mm."

: "Inborn" is genetic, "mother's milk" is, well, not genetic. (PS - No offense, but not being able to think of alternatives is not a reason for a 5 confidence level.)
