Uk mums!

Daughter is having general anesthetic for a 10 min procedure. Do I need to pack some pajamas, night nappy and my own snacks for it? I forgot to ask the nurse? Also do they allow hair to be up for the procedure, my girl has crazy hair 😂

Basically any recommendations!

My 3 year old had a procedure on Monday. We packed pajamas, change of underwear, and a teddy that she took with her to theater. We bought her fruit for afterwards but the nurse said that they prefer to give carbs as the first meal as fruit can make them nauseas after general anesthetic. We tied her hair in pigtails so it was out of the way but she could comfortably lay her head on the bed.

Also the hospital offered toast and biscuits once she was out of theater.

You can call and ask. Does she have to stay a night in hospital? Otherwise there is no need to pack a pj, just pack one or two extra set of clothes and always the favourite snacks.
