Question
I need to take my 11-month-old child to the hospital for a liver function test, but the child is still breastfeeding. The child wakes up in the middle of the night to drink milk. How should we handle this situation to ensure the test can be conducted?
Answer
When conducting a liver function test on a child who is still breastfeeding, fasting is required if the test is necessary. However, how should a child who wakes up in the middle of the night to drink milk be managed to meet the requirements for the test? Is it possible to perform the liver function test in such a situation?
