How many stages of Lactogenesis are there?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 4

There are 4 stages of Lactogenesis. These stages are important in understanding the process of milk production in the lactating breast. The first stage, Lactogenesis I, occurs during pregnancy and involves the initial development of the mammary glands. Lactogenesis II is when milk production begins shortly before and after giving birth. Lactogenesis III involves the maintenance of established milk production, and Lactogenesis IV is the gradual decrease in milk production when weaning begins. Understanding these stages is crucial for breastfeeding counselors to support and educate breastfeeding individuals effectively.
