„a” implies some kind of contrast: „to jest mleko, a to chleb” (this is milk, and this is bread); „mleko jest dobre, a chleb nie” (the milk is good, but the bread isn’t); „teraz piję mleko, a potem będę jadł chleb” (now I am drinking milk, and later I will eat bread).

If you’re listing things and not emphasising the contrast between them, you use „i”: „mleko i chleb”, „piję mleko i jem chleb”.

„mleko a chleb” technically isn’t incorrect, but it rather means “the relationship between milk and bread”, maybe it could be the title of an essay.
