He is having tongue tie divided under general. He can't have food for 6 hours before, breastmilk for 4 hours before and water for two hours before.
The op is at 2:30pm. So he will miss lunch and one milk feed. He uses breastfeeding for comfort and sleep too. I think he will be really distraught and have no idea what I will do about it. He will not take a dummy either.
Any ideas???
