Maybe a dumb question...

DS has to have an ultrasound of his testicle tomorrow.  (There's a lump that's gone from the size of a small pea to a large marble.)  I can't nurse him for several hours leading up to the test because he will be sedated but I can give him clear liquids (pedialyte/juice).  He's EBF and I guess my question is are there any restrictions to giving him that stuff?  Will it fill his belly up so he's not screaming from hunger?  Thoughts? Suggestions?

Oh poor guy!

Normally at that age I think you would not want to give anything other than BM, but in those circumstances I wouldn't see any harm in giving as much as he'll take.  As you say, at least it will hopefully sort of satisfy him.

I'll send t&p that everything comes back ok from the tests.

Poor kiddo!

T&P that tomorrow is not too difficult on you both.

I know water can be an issue up to a certain point - you may want to call your pedi to check.  I get a little nervous with that type of thing.

T&P that all goes well tomorrow.  No idea on the solution though.
