Feeding of Children after Anesthesia.

A breast-fed infant can be put to the breast two hours after coming out of the anesthetic. He should be nursed for only half the usual time; if all goes well, next time he may be nursed his full nursing period. A bottle-fed infant can be fed two hours after coming out of the anesthetic with his regular bottle-feeding diluted one-half with water; if all goes well, his next bottle-feeding should consist of his usual food. A child can be given something to eat not sooner than two hours after coming out of the anesthetic. This food consists of hot broth; in throat cases the first food should consist of cold broth.--Kilmer; Archives of Pediatrics.
