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!!
