When does Lactogenesis 2 occur?

  1. Immediately after birth

  2. During the first week postpartum

  3. 1-2 days postpartum

  4. 2-4 days postpartum

The correct answer is: 2-4 days postpartum

Lactogenesis 2 occurs 2-4 days postpartum. This phase is characterized by a significant increase in milk volume as the milk transitions from colostrum to mature milk production. This is when a mother's milk supply typically increases to meet the growing demands of the baby. The other options are not correct because Lactogenesis 2 does not occur immediately after birth (Lactogenesis 1 starts then), during the first week postpartum, or specifically 1-2 days postpartum.
