Judy,
Check the thyroid function. I had a
daughter born in in 1974 who, when she was three months old, went 19 days
without a bowel motion - a record at the Royal Children's Hospital at that
time. She was then diagnosed with no problems and given an
all clear. Although it was not picked up at that time she was
later found to be thyroid deficient with concomitant problems which
manifested later.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] constipated
baby
Can anyone give
me some hints please? I have a client with MS who has a 3/12 breast
fed baby who is constipated. This baby has only had X2 episodes
of this constipation, waits 4-5 days, ++++ pain and then a result of rabbit
pellets which are chalky in appearance. The GP had an x-ray
which showed a small amount of impaction and suggested a suppository and
some prune juice. Mum said that there is no changes in her
that she is aware of, tho she is very tired, and fatigue sometimes is a
trigger for her MS. Thanks
Take care,
Judy
