by now im sure you know what it is and if he has it. If he is 5 weeks and just having issues I would guess probably not. If he does have it the solution is to remove a portion of the bowel where the defective cells/nerves are. Some signs are a hard belly, no bm on the first day of life, or no bm followed by explosive bm when stimulated. This is not everything but its a start.
