My baby B was breech (but came out via c-section) so they are sending her to have a standard hip ultrasound at 7 weeks. I called to schedule it and they told me she can't be fed for 4 hours before the ultrasound. What the what? She likes to eat every 2-3 hours (breastfed) so she is going to be inconsolable by the time we get there. Anyone else told this?
I'm already planning to just load her up on formula at the 4 hour mark in hopes that keeps her full longer, but this just seems insane.
Re: Hip ultrasound for breech baby
Hope it turns out that she's fine! I think if it was dislocated though, the Dr would have caught it by now, but I understand it's standard to have one done.

DD1 was breech and had to have a hip ultrasound. We were never told she couldn't eat 4 hours beforehand.
However, she had to have a GI x-ray around 2 months old and wasn't allowed to eat 4 hours before that. We woke her up to eat as much as she could right at the 4 hour mark and crammed a paci in her mouth to help soothe her with sucking until the x-ray. We had a bottle ready for the second she was allowed to eat.
Glad to hear it was a mistake. I can't imagine not being able to feed LO for 4 hours!
