Oh dear -- for the second time in one week, two different moms have been  
told to give their babies Karo syrup for babies who are not pooping.  One  is 6 
weeks old and the other is 9 weeks old and both at same pediatrician.   I 
believe that both babies are not getting enough milk which is why they are not  
pooping enough, but I have not seen one of the babies yet to be sure.  I  have 
searched archives but not enough info where I want to give these moms some  real 
facts.  For one thing, I would think that introducing a corn product  to such 
a young baby could set off a real allergic chain reaction and for  another, 
it is disgustingly sweet and thick which caused one baby to gag and  scream... 
how pleasant!  So, pass onto me any research here that these moms  can show to 
this ignorant doc who never even looked into WHY these babies are  not 
pooping!  Thanks, Ann
