2 TYPE Infant formula 6 Solid (fatty or fried) foods 8 Fasting Time (hr) *Includes only fluids without pulp; clear tea or coffee without milk products. The American Society of Anesthesiologists guideline allows a light breakfast (tea and plain toast) 6 hours before anesthesia; however, determining what a light breakfast means for a child is difficult.
