Hi Micky,
     In a previous life, I woked for a pediatric colorectal surgeon who
operated on Hirschsprung's disease, which is caused by an absence of nerves in the
rectum, causing constipation, usually from birth and sometimes severe.  This
baby needs to get to a doctor experienced in Hirschsprung's immediately!  This
is a long time for this poor baby (and mother) to suffer.  At any rate,
breastmilk is the best thing for this baby, for the whole intestinal tract.  Keep us
posted.

Best wishes,
Alice Ernest IBCLC-RLC
Simpsonville, SC
