Just trying to reassure a client.  What are the current recommendations
for npo before surgery regarding BM.  My client is going to NE Med
Ctr/Floating teaching hospital for Tufts.  They sent her a guideline
sheet that states feeding protocol prior to surgery dated 1/94 that
states no solids, formula or breastmilk, milk or juice for 6 hrs prior to
arrival.  Clear liquids are ok up to 2 hrs before surgery.  Clear liquids
are defined as:  Water, pedialyte and glucose water.   Baby is scheduled
for surgery on Wednesday.  Any references would be appreciated.  She
showed the anesthesiologist copy form BAB and he poo-poo'ed it!  Of
course she can do whatever she wishes with her baby but we'd like to do
some educating in the process.  HELLLLLPPPP!!
