The reference by Litman suggests three hours before anaesthesia.  The
opinion piece by Nicolson and Schreiner seem to think that is too
conservative.

Litman RS, Wu CL, Quinlivan JK. Gastric volume and pH in infants fed
clear liquids and breastmilk prior to surgery. Anesth Analg
1994;79:482-5

The child can nurse immediately after surgery, as soon as he is awake
and up to it.
