Mom  states after giving the suppository baby went “6” diapers full.  It 
was  another 7 days and baby had not stooled.  Mom said baby was fussy at 
this  point, and not eating well. Pediatrician had mom give another  
suppository.  Again another larger amount of stool.  They have now  been referred to a 
pediatric gastroenterologist 2 hours away who has ordered a  barium swallow 
which was normal.
~~~ If intake is normal enough to lead to good weight gain and we would  
expect regular stooling but we're not seeing it, baby might be helped by  CST. 
 This baby is not one who cannot stool, he just stools very  infrequently 
unless he's stimulated to.  I would think that is different (  and not 
necessarily a pediatric specialty problem/emergency) than literally not  being 
able to stool at all. The CST might help  this  baby  get in a more comfortable,
better stooling rhythm.     Then again, I  might be way off/crazy, since I 
thought the baby I saw today who fell from the  85th% ile at birth, to below 
10th at 4 months, needs evaluation and help,  but the pediatrician says 
he's fine...
Peace,
Judy, back to banging her head against the wall...
