Yes. My daughter suffered from this four times when she was six months old. She lived in hospital for eight days. Actually, they pumped air into her intestine to release the "intusucepton". Did your child use this method or by operation? My daughter is almost one year old now and she is fine. In fact, nothing you can do to prevent this according to the doctor. But hygience is important. The living environment needs to be very clean especially child's toys. Need to clean them up everyday!
