if gas from the mother's gut were absorbed (unlikely), it would not cause
gas in the baby.

The record I am aware of for not bm's in a baby is 23 days. Leave the baby
alone, don't stimulate him to have bowel movements. Maybe we'll get a new

Hirschprung's workup. Typical. Another result of physicians' not knowing
