Common does not mean normal. Unless the ties are revised, the issue with the infrequent stooling probably won't resolve, but you can certainly address other issues that tend to present along with the ties, such as poor vagal function (bodywork addresses this to a point, but cannot ultimately overcome the ties), gut damage (bodywork and gut healing) and maternal diet/gut damage. It is never normal for a baby not to stool--just as it is not normal for any human being. Human stool is composed of approx 80% gut flora. When flora is significantly compromised, when peristalsis is impeded, when communication along the brain-gut axis is improperly modulated, the individual will not stool.
From Yasmin:
Case 1 : A baby at 7 weeks reports gaining average of 250 gms per week but does not pass stools for over a week until mom decides to use a suppository suggested by her pediatric. So far in 7 weeks mom says baby poops on his own only 3 times and other times had used a suppository. Baby remains attached to breast for a good feed and has a good suck swallow pattern. Unlatches on his own . Baby does have a TT, pointed tongue and a bubble palate. Mother has a robust milk supply. The poop is yellow pasty consistency and not hard or watery. Baby does get very gassy after 3 days of not pooping. Baby sleeps well and has 10 good feeds and is not fussy. What are the things I may need to look at besides getting some cranio sacral work.
