When does Lactogenesis occur?

  1. During the first week postpartum

  2. After weaning from breastfeeding

  3. Day 10-14 postpartum

  4. Immediately after birth

The correct answer is: Day 10-14 postpartum

Lactogenesis is the process of milk production in the breasts. Lactogenesis I happens during the second half of pregnancy when the breasts prepare for milk production. Lactogenesis II, also known as the onset of copious milk production, typically occurs around days 10-14 postpartum. This is when the volume of milk increases significantly to meet the baby's needs. That's why the correct answer is day 10-14 postpartum.
