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.
Irene.

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
