How often does the let-down reflex occur?

  1. Once during a feeding

  2. At the beginning of a feeding

  3. Several times during a feeding

  4. Only at night

The correct answer is: Several times during a feeding

The let-down reflex is a crucial aspect of breastfeeding, where the milk is released from the milk ducts into the nipple for the baby to feed. It is typically triggered by the baby's sucking motion. The correct answer is that the let-down reflex can occur several times during a feeding. This is because as the baby continues to nurse and stimulate the breast, multiple let-down reflexes can happen throughout the feeding session to ensure a consistent flow of milk for the baby. It is important for breastfeeding counselors to understand this process to help mothers optimize their breastfeeding experience.
