I have two other links, both from 1999.
This one does not use the term "general Anesthesia"

http://anesthesia.stanford.edu/kentgarman/clinical/NPO.htm

This one does, but the date is older than the 2002 linkI sent before...

http://www.asahq.org/publicationsAndServices/NPO.pdf

Years ago when I was researching this, I came across studies that
indicated human milk and clear liquid could have a npo of 2 hours or 4
hours, depending upon the study.  6 hours was recomended for non-human
milk and solid foods.  I negotiated with the hospital and we agreed to a
NPO of 3 hours.

I think most babies older than a few months could handle a npo of 3-4
hours, without a problem. My nearly 8 year old will be having surgery
this month, and I'm sure I'll have a conference with the hopsital and
negotiate this and other "procedures."
