What is Lactogenesis 3 also known as?

The resupply of mature milk
Galactopoiesis
Emptying of the alveolus
Involution

The correct answer is: Galactopoiesis

Lactogenesis 3 is also known as galactopoiesis. This term refers to the maintenance of established lactation to meet the ongoing needs of the breastfeeding infant. It involves the maintenance of milk production and composition to ensure a continued milk supply for the baby. This stage is crucial for the long-term success of breastfeeding. The other options mentioned in the question are not specifically related to the term "Lactogenesis 3" and do not accurately describe the process involved during this particular stage of lactation.
