Hi. I'm wondering if any of you wonderful resource people have worked
     with surgical teams who are planning guidelines for such
     breastfeeding-related issues as: length of time breastfed babies
     "need" to be NPO before and after various types of procedures, and use
     of breastmilk as a first oral fluid after surgery, etc. I'm currently
     talking to a number of nurses and mothers who have lots of
     common-sense sorts of answers to these questions but we're curious
     about whether others have come up with helpful quidelines and whether
     you can steer us toward recent research ? Looking forward to hearing
     your ideas/experiences. Thanks
