Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mother's milk typically "comes in" 2-5 days after birth. Once the placenta is delivered after the birth, the process of lactogenesis begins. While this is happening, colostrum, the first milk, is the perfect food for the newborn baby during the first 24 hours. Occasionally, lactogenesis II may be delayed, for example, if a mother had a cesarean birth, or if she has heavy postpartum bleeding.
