I found this in the archives.  Does any one know,  is it still true?  And if
the person who wrote it recognizes it ( I changed it a little), may I use it
in a letter to physicians?

at Boston Children's Hospital they consider breastmilk a clear fluid, and it
is listed right there in the printed-information guidelines, alongside juice
and water, as something the child CAN have up to 3 hours pre-op. Formula is
listed as somthing the child CANNOT have. As I am sure you are aware, this is
widely considered to be among the best anaesthesia departments in the county.
 Thanks,  Chris Betzold    NP
