The Centerfor Breastfeeding Info at LLLI lists the following on its 1995 fact
sheet. I can fax you or whoever a copy, call me at LLLI at (708) 519-7730

or talk to our medical associates.
Preoperative fasting time for breastfed children is shorter. Breastfeeding
may continue until 3 hours before arrival time at the hospital in healthy
children having elective surgery.

Three hours appears to be a reasonable fasting interval before surgery in
breastfeeding infants.
