cherie, I have seen many, many nursing mothers who have had tubals within
this time frame and they do exactly what any other Mother who is nursing a
baby but needs to  leave their side for a couple of hours does, they feed
just before they leave and hope the baby doesn't miss them!
If the baby does miss them, then they get walked around , cuddled or whatever
need be till Mom is ready-not a big deal at all!
