Your child usually must fast before stimulation testing, which means that he or she should not have anything to eat after midnight the night before the test. Your child may have up to 8 ounces of water on the morning of the test, as long as it is before 7 a.m. Although these are the usual instructions, you will be given specific instructions on when your child may eat or drink before his or her test.
Your child may bring a DVD to watch, a book to read, or an iPod/MP3 (with earphones) to listen to during the test.
