Could the baby have Hirshprung's? This a lack of nerve cells (ganglia) in the terminal end of the large bowel.

Hi Wendy
There
 is significant controversy around whether such a disorder actually 
exists.  If it does it is *extremely* rare.  Most of us have only ever 
heard the term because the media has sensationalised a handful of very 
sad abuse/neglect cases (globally).  Only after ruling out every other 
more likely scenario ... PND, cluelessness, strict routines, history of 
maternal childhood abuse, metabolic disorder, inadequate feeding, etc 
... would it even be worth considering chasing this zebra.
