Abstract
We evaluated the beginning of lactogenesis and the milk quantity until the fifth post-delivery day, before discharge, in 10 primiparae and 1 1 pluriparae Gypsies, as compared to 12 primiparae and 11 pluriparae I talian women. The results showed that both in primiparae and in plurip arae Gypsies, the lactogenesis started significantly earlier and the m ilk quantity was significantly greater than in Italian women.
