Infant Seizures
Posted: 07-14-05 00:58am

We have a 5 week old baby girl...The day after she was born I noticed that every now and then her right foot and right hand would twitch simultaniously. This has progressed into what are now some sort of what we think is a seizure. She starts to space out, her eyes glaze over and her right arm tightens and draws up close to her body, her mouth opens and her eyes go to the side. She has labored breathing, and she jerks a little bit. She sometimes spits up after or during it, she is then still and spaced out for a few seconds and then she usually cries pretty hard. We have had two eegs done and have yet to hear the results...Does anyone have any experience with this or have any thoughts on it?

Hi mama, I am so sorry you have this big concern with your baby!! I would take her to the pede soon and get this checked out. It is often downplayed as a concern but needs checking out for sure!

I hope you can find answers and help!
