How long does Lactogenesis 2 typically last?

  1. 1-2 days

  2. 2-4 days

  3. 1-2 weeks

  4. 2-4 weeks

The correct answer is: 2-4 days

Lactogenesis 2 is the stage in which the milk volume increases significantly. This phase usually begins around 2-4 days after birth, hence the correct answer is B. During Lactogenesis 2, the breasts transition from producing colostrum to mature milk, meeting the increasing needs of the growing baby. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the typical timeframe for Lactogenesis 2 to occur.
