I'm posting with a client's permission.  Her 2 and 1/2 year old daughter is 
scheduled for tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy because of severe breathing issues.
The ENT says that she cannot nurse for 2 weeks following surgery.
I have searched the archieves and the last post on this topic was in 2005.  
Was wondering if anyone had any new information about the practice of not 
allowing breastfeeding post op.  The mom is very upset at the thought of 
weaning because her daughter is still nursing 4 times a day and is not 
indicating any signs of wearing.  However, the surgery cannot be postponed 
any longer.  Does anyone have any information that we can take to the 
ENT??
