[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP. I also wanted to mention that we got really worried about the feeding situation before surgery (no food after midnight). Breastmilk is considered water for this purpose, whereas formula is considered food since it's thicker. So you can give breast milk closer to surgery than formula. Just a side note. I struggled with breast feeding but pummeled through awhile longer to get us through the surgeries. There are a few small private waiting rooms off to the side for breast feeding, praying, etc. Try to get your baby to sleep as long as possible leading up to surgery. Use one of those rooms for a quiet area to let the baby sleep more. We had a checkup under anesthesia a few weeks ago so had to use the surgical area. They gave our son a Dr. Bear stuffed animal. They really do try to make it as comfortable as possible given the circumstances.[/quote]
