Has anyone ever had an infant NPO for an extended amount of time?

My 2 month old is scheduled for a procedure Thursday morning. She is directed clear liquids 12am-4am and then NPO (nothing by mouth), which will last until 4 hours after the procedure (at least 1pm).

In addition to freaking out about the danger of the procedure, and the possible results, I have no idea how to get her through this Chat Icon

Any experiences and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
