Help oh Wise Ones! Have a mom. Breastfeeding 18 month old. Is having kidney surgery on Thurs (1/16). Surgery will last approx. 2-4 hrs. She has been given NPO instructions of 8 hrs. for breastmilk, 2 hrs. for glucose water, water, apple juice. this is a child who loves to nurse. I have given her some recent citations from the archives. Does anyone have any additional information or can refer me to any (preferably prominent) MD/breastfeeding guru who might help her in this situation. She figures that she can hold off breastfeeding for 3-4 hrs. please e-mail privately as I don't always have time to read lactnet postings Thanks!!
