I have seen many a baby who starts rice cereal as a first food here in USA. Invariably, the baby will have an almost immediate stool pattern change towards not stooling much any more. I would suggest mother eliminate the custard due to the rice/maize ingredients. It sounds like baby may have some issues with stooling which presented early, and bears watching, but not sure it is pathological. I am not a fan of enemas and would rather give the bub some little drinks of, say, apple juice.
