Our beautiful daughter was born 7 weeks ago at 34 weeks gest. Antenatal diagnosis of down's syndrome. Drs queried Hirschsprungs as bowels not opened and did rectal washouts until she was big enough for biopsy. this was done 2 weeks ago and came back negative for Hirschsprungs. stopped washouts but has had trouble with having bowels opened and after readdmission to hospital, back now having washouts. surgeons hoping she will grow out of it as she puts on weight and bowels start working. just wondered if anyone else had any knowledge or experience of this. hope it makes sense.
