Hi madam, your baby is either got hirschsprung disease or anal amnesia which both can cause the bowel to obstruct, some surgeons do a 3-step procedure which includes an urgent colostomy to decompress the bowel, and when the baby has an appropriate weight and can Handel the second surgery the bowel is anastomoses or reconnected again, and time is needed for this step to function well, and colostomy is left in place to watch for any complications of the procedure, when the child is ready and bowel movements occur through anus then colostomy is removed. I hope this helps
