Lack of bowel movements in the first week or so merits careful 
weighing, to check the baby is transferring milk.

If weight shows the baby is thriving, then I don't think this is a 
problem. It will resolve. It's within normal for young babies to 
sometimes react with a bit of apparent fussiness when they feel 
'action down below' :)  As long as everything else is normal and the 
stools when they come are normal, and CRUCIALLY, the weight shows the 
baby is thriving, then not a concern, IMO.

It *definitely* does not merit a dose of karo syrup or brown sugar - 
*what* is the doctor thinking?!
